Benchmarking of a time-saving and scalable protocol for the extraction of DNA from diverse viromes by Michael Shamash, Saniya Kapoor, Corinne F. Maurice

“…While the kit approach offers benefits like reduced toxicity and increased throughput, it has limitations such as higher costs and potential issues reliably capturing low-abundance taxa. This protocol provides a viable option for large-scale virome studies, although the phenol-chloroform approach may still be preferable for specific sample types.…”

Inferring the dynamics of diversification: a coalescent approach. by Hélène Morlon, Matthew D Potts, Joshua B Plotkin

“…These contrasting theories of biodiversity dynamics yield fundamentally different explanations for the disparity in species richness across taxa and regions. Here, we test whether speciation rates have decayed or remained constant over time, and whether biodiversity is saturated or still expanding. …”

The impacts of the discontinuation of dual nomenclature of pleomorphic fungi: the trivial facts, problems, and strategies by U. Braun

“…It is up to the taxonomist to select appropriate methods and to decide which data are sufficient to introduce new taxa. Some future problems and strategies around the application of anamorph- and teleomoph-typified taxon names (genera and species), are discussed here, using the recently monographed powdery mildews (Erysiphales) as an example.…”

Epibiotic bacterial community composition varies during different developmental stages of Octopus mimus: Study of cultivable representatives and their secondary metabolite producti... by Martha B Hengst, Stephanie Trench, Valezka Alcayaga, Cristian Sepúlveda-Muñoz, Jorge Bórquez, Mario Simirgiotis, Fernando Valenzuela, Mario Lody, Lenka Kurte, Coral Pardo-Esté

“…The isolates belonged to the phyla Proteobacteria, Actinomycetota, Bacteroidota, and Bacillota, represented by 21 genera and 27 species. Specific taxa were associated with each developmental stage, with only three species shared among different stages: Bacillus pumilus, B. megaterium, and Shewanella algae, which also inhibited the growth of all assayed pathogens. …”

Long journey of 16S rRNA‐amplicon sequencing toward cell‐based functional bacterial microbiota characterization by Jianshi Jin, Xiongduo Liu, Katsuyuki Shiroguchi

“…Abstract Bacteria often exist and function as a community, known as the bacterial microbiota, which consists of vast numbers of bacteria belonging to many bacterial species (taxa). Characterizing the bacterial microbiota needs high‐throughput approaches that enable the identification and quantification of many bacterial cells, and such approaches have been under development for more than 30 years. …”

Consequencialismo de normas: o problema hookeriano da redução do nível de internalização de normas by Luís Gomes da Silva

“…O grau de conflito evolui quando a teoria hookeriana fixa sua taxa de redução do nível de internalização de normas em 90% de uma população, estabelecendo uma porcentagem padrão para que as pessoas das gerações futuras (2003, p. 248) internalizem as normas que lhes tragam as melhores consequências, depreciando todos os outros níveis, acima ou abaixo de 90%, que podem produzir melhores consequências, sob alegações de que se trata de uma medida para lidar com os descumprimentos de normas. …”
