Evolution of morphological traits of Dendrobium sensu lato (Orchidaceae)—an attempt to resolve phylogenetic relationships in nominal and morphologically convergent sections

BMC Plant Biology
Background Dendrobium is a large genus within the Orchidaceae family, containing over 1,600 species. Most are sympodial epiphytes. These species are distributed throughout southern, eastern, and southeastern Asia, the Pacific Islands, Australia, New ...

DNA barcoding reveals distinct population of Dopasia gracilis (Squamata: Anguidae) in Mizoram, Northeast India

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The DNA barcode data of Asian Glass Lizard, Dopasia gracilis, is limited in the global database, especially from India. The present study aimed to generate a barcode sequence of morphologically identified D.

Taxonomy : A Discipline Central to Integrative Biology [PDF]

, 2004
Taxonomists contribute to science in three ways: recognition of taxa, classification of taxa, and integration of information on taxa. Recognition of taxa is first performed at the species level.

Comparing the efficacy of morphologic and DNA-based taxonomy in the freshwater gastropod genus Radix (Basommatophora, Pulmonata)

, 2006
Background Reliable taxonomic identification at the species level is the basis for many biological disciplines. In order to distinguish species, it is necessary that taxonomic characters allow for the separation of individuals into recognisable ...

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...

A review of the bacular morphology of some Indian bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera)

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2020
Bacular studies play a significant role in the case of bats and other mammals since it is considered an important taxon-specific character, thus helping in species discrimination.

ChicGrasp: Imitation‐Learning‐Based Customized Dual‐Jaw Gripper Control for Manipulation of Delicate, Irregular Bio‐Products

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

Comparison of rodent community between natural and modified habitats in Kafta-Sheraro National Park and its adjoining villages, Ethiopia: implication for conservation

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2019
Background Distribution and diversity of rodents vary across habitats due to different environmental factors. An ecological comparative study on diversity and abundance of rodents was conducted in Kafta-Sheraro National Park and its nearby villages from ...
