Effects of uncut refuge management on grassland arthropods – A systematic review by Kitti Révész, Róbert Gallé, Jean-Yves Humbert, Péter Batáry

“…Additionally, research primarily focused on orthopterans with no negative responses to refuges, whereas other taxa received less attention. Although further research is needed on the assumed moderators (e.g. grassland habitat type, landscape structure) and understudied grassland taxa, based on the existing knowledge, we recommend leaving refuges where arthropod conservation is concerned.…”

Diversity of Rhizophydiales (Chytridiomycota) in Thailand: unveiling the hidden gems of the Kingdom by Vedprakash G. Hurdeal, Joyce E. Longcore, E. B. Gareth Jones, Kevin D. Hyde, Eleni Gentekaki

“…Our investigation incorporated a combination of morphological and phylogenetic approaches, enabling us to identify these isolates as distinct taxa. The novel isolates possess distinguishing features, such as variations in size and shape of the sporangium and zoospores, that somewhat differentiate them from described taxa. …”
