Cryptic species and hybridisation in corals: challenges and opportunities for conservation and restoration by Riginos, Cynthia, Popovic, Iva, Meziere, Zoe, Garcia, Vhon, Byrne, Ilha, Howitt, Samantha M., Ishida, Hisatake, Bairos-Novak, Kevin, Humanes, Adriana, Scharfenstein, Hugo, Richards, Thomas, Briggs, Ethan, Clark, Vanessa, Lei, Chuan, Khan, Mariam, Prata, Katharine E.

“…Thus, we detail recommendations for best practice and strategies for identifying cryptic taxa and hybridisation. In addition, cryptic coral taxa present an untapped resource for studying speciation which could provide rich opportunities for collaboration among coral and speciation biologists and fill key knowledge gaps relevant to conservation and restoration.…”

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. …”

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.…”
