Potential conservation of circadian clock proteins in the phylum Nematoda as revealed by bioinformatic searches [PDF]
Although several circadian rhythms have been described in C. elegans, its molecular clock remains elusive. In this work we employed a novel bioinformatic approach, applying probabilistic methodologies, to search for circadian clock proteins of several of

Helictochloa lusitanica. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2018 [PDF]
This species is endemic to northwestern Portugal. It is assessed as Vulnerable based on the very small area of occurrence, approximately 20 km2, although this is likely to be an underestimate, since point records may not available for all subpopulations.

Evolution of plant ribosome-inactivating proteins [PDF]
This contribution presents an updated analysis of the evolution of ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) in plants. All evidence suggests that an ancestor of modern seed plants developed the RIP domain at least 300 million years ago.

The biodiversity audit approach challenges regional priorities and identifies a mismatch in conservation [PDF]
1. Despite a strong uptake of evidence-based approaches, conservation often proceeds from a grossly incomplete understanding of species priorities. To optimize conservation impact within a biogeographical region, quantitative knowledge is needed of the ...

Life after herbarium digitisation: Physical and digital collections, curation and use
Societal Impact Statement Collections of dried plant specimens (herbaria) provide an invaluable resource for the study of many areas of scientific interest and conservation globally. Digitisation increases access to specimens and metadata, enabling efficient use across a broad spectrum of research.

A linear sequence of extant families and genera of lycophytes and ferns [PDF]
Throughout the history of the classification of extant ferns (monilophytes) and lycophytes, familial and generic concepts have been in great flux. For the organisation of lycophytes and ferns in herbaria, books, checklists, indices and spore banks and on

In response to Chile's public policy to establish a national biodiversity inventory and monitoring system, we launched the HerbarioDigital.cl portal. We have digitised over 120,000 specimens representing more than 3,900 species from two Chilean herbaria, integrating them through a curated local taxonomic index.
