Subject:
Cladonia; acids; chemotypes; cryptic species; lichens; morphometry; statistical analysis; Europe
Abstract:
... The Cladonia chlorophaea group represents a complex of morphologically and chemically similar taxa that have long perplexed taxonomists. Until now, few studies have systematically evaluated morphological characters in the group. A morphometric analysis of samples belonging to the taxa of the Cladonia chlorophaea and C. humilis groups as well as C. fimbriata, was performed using various fundamental ...

Abstract:
... Until recently, the taxon Murina cyclotis was considered to be a widespread species, albeit one that exhibited considerable individual, sexual and geographical variation. Subsequently however, it was recognised that this taxon was in fact a complex of species. As such, in 2012, two larger forms were recognised as separate and distinct species, namely: M. peninsularis in the Sunda region and M. fio ...

Abstract:
... As the driest inhabitable continent, it comes as no surprise that Australia has comparatively few species of freshwater-dependent fishes compared with land masses of similar size and latitudinal coverage. In addition to relatively low rainfall and few permanent waterbodies, a range of other climatic, geological, physical, and biogeographical factors are generally offered up, to account for the low ...

Abstract:
... Understanding of evolutionary history and speciation events to inform phylogeography of extant species can be gleaned from the fossil record. However, the fossil record for Australian freshwater turtles contains many gaps and interpretation of the fossils that are known is difficult because of poor knowledge of the morphology of extant forms. There are no fossils currently assigned to short-necked ...

Southern forest geckos (Mokopirirakau ‘Southern Forest’) are known only from anecdotes, museum specimens and discoveries of an individual at each of three sites during recent surveys in the Catlins. We used systematic searching, photo identif ...

The resolution of data required to characterize species interaction networks at multiple spatio‐temporal scales can be intensive, and therefore laborious and costly to collect. We explore the utility of high‐resolution DNA melt‐curve analysis (HRM) as ...

Molecular data from three chloroplast markers resolve individuals attributable to Radula buccinifera in six lineages belonging to two subgenera, indicating the species is polyphyletic as currently circumscribed. All lineages are morphologically diagnosable, but one pair exhibits such morphological overlap that they can be considered cryptic. Molecular and morphological data justify the re-instatem ...

... The structure of the male gonopods of millipedes has been considered to be species-specific. As such, gonopods—which aid in copulation and sperm transfer—are used in the taxonomic diagnosis and description of species. However, it was recently demonstrated that gonopod morphology is not always characteristic of species. Diagnoses based on gonopod morphology can therefore result in underestimation o ...
