Exploring the Diversity and Ecological Dynamics of Palm Leaf Spotting Fungi—A Case Study on Ornamental Palms in Portugal by Diana S. Pereira, Alan J. L. Phillips

“…The overall fungal community composition revealed a distinct assemblage dominated by <i>Neosetophoma</i>, <i>Alternaria</i>, <i>Phoma</i>, and <i>Cladosporium</i>, with a profusion of infrequent and rare taxa consistent with a logseries distribution. Significantly positive co-occurrence (CO) patterns among prevalent and uncommon taxa suggest potential synergistic interactions enhancing fungal colonisation, persistence, and pathogenicity. …”

New probabilistic methods for quantitative climate reconstructions applied to palynological data from Lake Kinneret by T. Netzel, A. Miebach, T. Litt, A. Hense

“…During the inference process, our new method generates taxa weights and biome climate ranges. The former shows that less weight needs to be given to <i>Olea europaea</i> to ensure the influence of the other taxa. …”

A sensitivity analysis of methodological variables associated with microbiome measurements by Samuel P. Forry, Stephanie L. Servetas, Jennifer N. Dootz, Monique E. Hunter, Jason G. Kralj, James J. Filliben, Scott A. Jackson

“…Furthermore, these measurement biases varied substantially with taxa, even between closely related genera. However, computational correction of method bias using a reference material was demonstrated that significantly harmonized metagenomic sequencing results collected using different analysis protocols.…”

The Bacterial Microflora of Fish, Revised by B. Austin

“…The role of the organisms includes the ability to degrade complex molecules (therefore exercising a potential benefit in nutrition), to produce vitamins and polymers, and to be responsible for the emission of light by the light-emitting organs of deep-sea fish. Taxa, including Pseudomonas, may contribute to spoilage by the production of histamines in fish tissue.…”

Molecular phylogenetic studies on the lichenicolous Xanthoriicola physciae reveal Antarctic rock-inhabiting fungi and Piedraia species among closest relatives in the Teratosphaeria... by C. Ruibal, A.M. Millanes, D.L. Hawksworth

“…These three genera, along with species of Elasticomyces, Recurvomyces, Teratosphaeria, and sequences from unnamed rockinhabiting fungi (RIF), were all members of the same major clade within Capnodia/es with strong support in both analyses, and for which the family name Teratosphaeriaceae can be used pending further studies on additional taxa.…”

SOIL FACIES – A GEOGRAPHIC LOCAL-REGIONAL COMPLETING OF SOIL TAXONOMIC UNITS by NICOLAE FLOREA

“…Because the soil units have a double nature, genetic and geographic (“double identity”), not completely reflected by the system of soiltaxonomy, it was proposed to complete the name of the soil taxa by some additional aspects, named regional and local soil facies. …”

Validation and justification of the phylum name Cryptomycota phyl. nov. by M.D.M. Jones, T.A. Richards, D.L. Hawksworth, D. Bass

“…This name is preferred over the previously tentatively proposed “Rozellida” as new data suggest that the life-style and morphology of Rozella is not representative of the large radiation to which it and other Cryptomycota belong. Furthermore, taxa at higher ranks such as phylum are considered better not based on individual names of included genera, but rather on some special characteristics – in this case the cryptic nature of this group and that they were initially revealed by molecular methods rather than morphological discovery. …”
