Abstract:
... Cortinarius subgenus Myxacium has been used since the times of Elias Fries to denote a large group of species characterized by a viscid universal veil. In molecular studies during the past decades, the subgenus was shown to be polyphyletic. In this study, we emend the circumscription of the subgenus, taking into consideration recent research involving taxa from both hemispheres. Known sections of ...

Abstract:
... In 1900, Henry Suter, a New Zealand malacologist, described six land snail taxa from South America, mostly from Brazil. These taxa received little further attention from malacologists and the unusual depository of its type specimens (New Zealand) caused much confusion in the literature. Suter'S types and taxa are thus revisited in the present work. In summary, the following species are considered ...

Abstract:
... Larger molecular phylogenies based on ever more genes are becoming commonplace with the advent of cheaper and more streamlined sequencing and bioinformatics pipelines. However, many groups of inconspicuous but no less evolutionarily or ecologically important marine invertebrates are still neglected in the quest for understanding species- and higher-level phylogenetic relationships. Here, we allevi ...

Abstract:
... This paper focuses on the physical attributes of land that intrinsically limit land use and possibly affect land values. In particular, we investigate if the slope of a land does decrease its price and investigate the role of land slope in forming more reliable constant-quality land price indices and aggregate house price indices. We find that, while land slopes do decrease the land price per unit ...

Abstract:
... In ecological networks, neutral predictions suggest that species’ interaction frequencies are proportional to their relative abundances. Deviations from neutral predictions thus correspond to interaction preferences (when positive) or avoidances (when negative), driven by nonneutral (e.g., niche‐based) processes. Exotic species interact with many partners with which they have not coevolved, and it ...
