Orchidaceae show remarkable diversity in pollination strategies, but how these strategies vary globally is not entirely clear. To identify regions and taxa that are data-rich and lend themselves to rigorous analyses or are data-poor and need attention,

Invertebrate taxonomy and evolutionary developmental biology* [PDF]
Evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) is a new research area where the traditions of evolutionary biology and developmental biology merge together. As in the past there has been a fruitful two-way exchange between evolutionary biology and taxonomy, and also between developmental biology and taxonomy, now the way is open for two-way exchanges ...

Biology and taxonomy of crAss-like bacteriophages, the most abundant virus in the human gut
CrAssphage is yet to be cultured even though it represents the most abundant virus in the gut microbiota of humans. Recently, sequence based classification was performed on distantly related crAss-like phages from multiple environments, leading to the ...

Regulatory effect of gut microbes on blood pressure
The interaction between gut microbiota and hypertension, the genera which affect the blood pressure in taxonomic level, and the commonly used treatments to hypertension based on the gut microbes were summarized in this review. The increases of Lactobacillus, etc.

Lenia - Biology of Artificial Life [PDF]
We report a new system of artificial life called Lenia (from Latin lenis "smooth"), a two-dimensional cellular automaton with continuous space-time-state and generalized local rule. Computer simulations show that Lenia supports a great diversity of complex autonomous patterns or "lifeforms" bearing resemblance to real-world microscopic organisms.

TaxoEnrich: Self-Supervised Taxonomy Completion via Structure-Semantic Representations [PDF]
Taxonomies are fundamental to many real-world applications in various domains, serving as structural representations of knowledge. To deal with the increasing volume of new concepts needed to be organized as taxonomies, researchers turn to automatically completion of an existing taxonomy with new concepts.

Taxonomy in Biology and Visualization [PDF]
Taxonomies are core to our everyday working. We constantly categorize entities to aid our understanding and navigation of the world around us. In the most basic of cases, we may categorize animals into dangerous or non-dangerous, pets or pests and people into friends and strangers.

A standardized bacterial taxonomy based on genome phylogeny substantially revises the tree of life
Taxonomy is an organizing principle of biology and is ideally based on evolutionary relationships among organisms. Development of a robust bacterial taxonomy has been hindered by an inability to obtain most bacteria in pure culture and, to a lesser ...

The taxonomist - an endangered race : a practical proposal for its survival [PDF]
Background: Taxonomy or biological systematics is the basic scientific discipline of biology, postulating hypotheses of identity and relationships, on which all other natural sciences dealing with organisms relies.
