Colletotrichum: species, ecology and interactions by U. Damm, R. Baroncelli, L. Cai, Y. Kubo, R. O'Connell, B. Weir, K. Yoshino, P.F. Cannon

“…The meeting revealed that currently major species complexes in the genus Colletotrichum are being revised and the identities of many pathogens clarified on the basis of molecular phylogenies, and that the genomes of four species are sequenced and decoded providing an enormous amount of data that are used to increase our understanding of the biology of Colletotrichum species.…”

Genomic characterization and radiation tolerance of Naganishia kalamii sp. nov. and Cystobasidium onofrii sp. nov. from Mars 2020 mission assembly facilities by Patrick Leo, Marcus de Melo Texeira, Atul M. Chander, Nitin K. Singh, Anna C. Simpson, Andrey Yurkov, Fathi Karouia, Jason E. Stajich, Christopher E. Mason, Kasthuri Venkateswaran

“…The phylogenetic analyses revealed that single gene phylogenies (ITS or LSU) were not conclusive, and MLSA and WGS-based phylogenies were more advantageous for species discrimination in the two genera. …”

Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of the Atrato slider, Trachemys medemi (Testudines, Emydidae) by Sebastián Cuadrado-Ríos, Mario Vargas-Ramírez, Christian Kehlmaier, Uwe Fritz

“…Phylogenetic analyses based on complete mitogenomes, which lack some Trachemys species, placed T. medemi as sister to T. venusta. Phylogenies from the same dataset, but including available shorter mtDNA information for most Trachemys species, recovered T. medemi as sister to T. dorbigni, and this clade was sister to T. venusta, T. yaquia, and T. ornata. …”

Le mythe du microcèbe primitif by Fabien Génin, Judith C Masters

“…In this contribution, we criticise this almost mythical view, which is neither supported by the fossil record nor by the most recent phylogenies. We propose the alternative hypothesis of a reduction of body size, or dwarfism, a phenomenon known to occur frequently on islands, and in isolated regions subject to El Niño-related unpredictable droughts. …”

Gene Structures, Classification, and Expression Models of the DREB Transcription Factor Subfamily in Populus trichocarpa by Yunlin Chen, Jingli Yang, Zhanchao Wang, Haizhen Zhang, Xuliang Mao, Chenghao Li

“…We analyzed gene structures, phylogenies, domain duplications, genome localizations, and expression profiles. …”

Inferring Tripartite Associations of Vector-Borne Plant Pathogens Using a Next-Generation Sequencing Approach by Ava M. Gabrys, Christopher H. Dietrich, Valeria Trivellone

“…We observed incongruence between plant and insect phylogenies. Many leafhopper species, including presumed grass specialists, fed on distantly related plant lineages; 66% of sampled leafhoppers fed on plants from at least two different orders. …”

The genus Entomophthora: bringing the insect destroyers into the twenty-first century by Carolyn Elya, Henrik H. De Fine Licht

“…Evidence for strain-level specificity of hosts is summarized and directly compared to phylogenies of Entomophthora and the class Insecta. …”

Comparison of Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing data quality for Clostridioides difficile genome analysis and their application for epidemiological surveillance by Semeh Bejaoui, Sofie Holtsmark Nielsen, Astrid Rasmussen, John Eugenio Coia, Dorte Terp Andersen, Tobias Bruun Pedersen, Martin Vad Møller, Marc Trunjer Kusk Nielsen, Dorte Frees, Søren Persson

“…As a result, Nanopore-derived phylogenies were not as accurate as the Illumina reference, and therefore inadequate for precise investigation of transmission events. …”

Genome skimming provides evidence to accept two new genera (Apiaceae) separated from the Peucedanum s.l. by Bo-Ni Song, Chang-Kun Liu, Chang-Kun Liu, Jiao-Jiao Deng, Wei-Yan Tan, Song-Dong Zhou, Xing-Jin He

“…Among these Peucedanum s.l. members, plastid-based phylogenies recognized two monophyletic clades, clade A (four species) and clade B (10 taxa). …”
