Emerging Marine Nematodes as Model Organisms: Which Species for Which Question? by Federica Semprucci, Eleonora Grassi, Adele Cocozza di Montanara, Roberto Sandulli, Elisa Baldrighi

“…This review evaluates their potential to address diverse biological questions regarding ecosystem functioning, climate change adaptation, host–microbe interactions, ecotoxicology, and biotechnological applications. Among the reviewed taxa, <i>Litoditis marina</i> and select Monhysteridae species, such as <i>Diplolaimella dievengatensis</i>, <i>Halomonhystera disjuncta</i>, and <i>Diplolaimelloides</i> spp., emerge as leading candidates due to their manageable life cycles, adaptability to laboratory conditions, and available genomic resources. …”

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). …”
