Spectroscopic aspects of underwater digital holography of plankton by Victor Dyomin, Igor Polovtsev, Alexandra Davydova, Nikolai Kirillov

“…One of them is the time series of the concentration of individuals of various plankton taxa in a certain volume. There are characteristic rhythms in the ecosystem function caused by both plankton biorhythms and changes in habitat parameters, as well as their synchronization, whereas a change in this rhythm may serve as an alarm signal for the ecosystem deprivation. …”

Morpho-phylogenetic evidence reveals novel hyphomycetous fungi on medicinal plants in Southwestern China by Hong-Zhi Du, Ning-Guo Liu, Na Wu, Ratchadawan Cheewangkoon, Jian-Kui Liu

“…During a survey of saprobic fungi on medicinal plants in Southwestern China, thirty-nine hyphomycetous collections belonging to Dictyosporiaceae, Melanommataceae, and Stachybotryaceae were identified, representing nineteen distinct species. These taxa were characterised and identified based on morphological and culture characteristics, coupled with phylogenetic analyses of combined sequences of calmodulin (cmdA), the internal transcribed spacer region of ribosomal DNA (ITS), nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU), RNA polymerase second-largest subunit (rpb2), the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1-α), and β-tubulin (tub2). …”
