Contribution to the Molecular Phylogeny of Anthribidae (Coleoptera: Curculioniodea) Inferred from COI Sequences by Ali Nafiz Ekiz, Polen Döngel

“…Urodontinae seems to form a monophyletic clade with respect to used COI sequences. Tribal classification which fully seem to depends on morphological characters are useful for practical taxonomic purposes but most tribes (those represented with more than one species/sequence) does not constitute monophyletic clades.…”

Sonic hedgehog and fibroblast growth factor 8 regulate the evolution of amniote facial proportions by Marta Marchini, Greta Keller, Naaz Khan, Rushabh Shah, Adriana Saliceti Galarza, Katherine B. Starr, Alexandra Apostopoulos, Thomas J. Sanger

“…Abstract Amniote skulls are diverse in shape and skeletal composition, which is the basis of much adaptive diversification within this clade. Major differences in skull shape are established early in development, at a critical developmental interval spanning the initial outgrowth and fusion of the facial processes. …”

Phylogenetic Analysis and Extracellular Enzyme Profiles of Yeast Strains Isolated from Raspberry Fruits by Melih Günay, Tulay Turgut Genc

“…When the phylogenetic relationships among all yeast strains were investigated, all strains were divided into two main clades. While the first clade consists of only Metschnikowia genus, second clade includes H. uvarum and A. pullulans yeast species. …”

Epidemiology and Molecular Aspect of pediculosis among Primary School Children in Sulaimani Province Kurdistan-Iraq by Abdullah A. Haama

“…The amplicons product from Polymarase chain Reaction was visualized on 1.5% agarose gel, and expected DNA band size of head lice's was approximately 486 bp which confirms that these lice's belong to the head lice group clade A . In conclusion the school aged children in Sulaimani province were suffering from peiculosis with high prevalence rate and it has a direct impact on children cognitive and school activity performance. …”

Evolutionary patterns of the SSU rRNA (V4 region) secondary structure in genus Euplotes (Ciliophora, Spirotrichea): insights into cryptic species and primitive traits by Ratih Kusuma Wardani, Ragib Ahsan, Mann Kyoon Shin

“…Our analysis revealed significant variations in the V4 region secondary structure, particularly in helix E23_8, across different clades of Euplotes. Reconstruction of the ancestral state indicated a transition from a simpler (Type I) to a more complex (Type II) secondary structure, with several species showing a reversal to Type I especially species in clade VI, suggesting of reverse evolution. …”

Simpson's tachytely or bradytely? The importance of quantifying rate uncertainty by Rosana Zenil‐Ferguson, Lee Hsiang Liow

“…The choice of diversification modelling approach is independent of the pattern of diversification rates decaying exponentially with clade age. In practice, we still cannot confidently compare diversification rates or their variation, due to uncertainties stemming from clade age, sample size and biased sampling. …”
