Gulf Bluestem, Maritime Bluestem, Schizachyrium maritimum by Debbie Miller, Mack Thetford, Chris Verlinde, Gabriel Campbell, Ashlynn Smith

The integrative future of taxonomy by Vences Miguel, De la Riva Ignacio, Miralles Aurélien, Padial José M

“…To cope with the large number of candidate species revealed by molecular studies of eukaryotes, we propose a classification scheme for those units that will facilitate the subsequent assembly of data sets for the formal description of new species under the Linnaean system, and will ultimately integrate the activities of taxonomists and molecular biologists.</p>…”

Coastal Groundcherry, Physalis angustifolia by Debbie Miller, Mack Thetford, Chris Verlinde, Gabriel Campbell, Ashlynn Smith

“…Coastal groundcherry can hybridize with other Physalis species, particularly with P. viscosa, and has long frustrated plant taxonomists because of the inherent variation within the genus (Sullivan 1985). https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/sg180 This publication is derived from information in SGEB-75/SG156, Dune Restoration and Enhancement for the Florida Panhandle, by Debbie Miller, Mack Thetford, Christina Verlinde, Gabriel Campbell, and Ashlynn Smith. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/sg156. …”

Assessing Ecological Disturbance in Neotropical Forest Landscapes Using High-Level Diversity and High-Level Functionality: Surprising Outcomes from a Case Study with Spider Assembl... by Darinka Costa Gonzalez, Reinaldo Lucas Cajaiba, Eduardo Périco, Wully Barreto da Silva, Antônio Domingos Brescovite, António Maria Luis Crespi, Mário Santos

“…This approach, if proven informative, might overcome the relevant limitations of taxonomic derived indexes, which are considered time-consuming, cost-demanding and dependent on the (few) expert taxonomists’ availability. Our results highlight the pertinence of both indicators’ responses to the structural changes induced by increasing anthropogenic disturbance, and are associated with reductions in ecosystem complexity, microclimates, and microhabitats. …”

Four Novel Species and Two New Records of Boletes from India by Kanad Das, Aniket Ghosh, Dyutiparna Chakraborty, Sudeshna Datta, Ishika Bera, Ranjith Layola MR, Farheen Banu, Alfredo Vizzini, Komsit Wisitrassameewong

“…Repeated macrofungal explorations, followed by thorough examination of species through morphology and molecular phylogeny, have made it clear that European and American names of wild mushrooms were inadvertently misapplied quite often to Asian lookalikes by mycologists/taxonomists in the past. Therefore, in order to reveal this mushroom treasure, in recent years, taxonomical research on wild mushrooms has been intensified in Asian countries, including India, by undertaking a combined approach of morpho-taxonomy and multigene molecular phylogeny. …”
