Singleton-based species names and fungal rarity: Does the number really matter? by Jonathan Cazabonne, Allison K. Walker, Jonathan Lesven, Danny Haelewaters

“…If multiple independent sources of data support the existence of a new taxon, we encourage mycologists to proceed with formal description, irrespective of the number of specimens at hand. …”

Another new karst-dwelling rock gecko in the Cnemaspis siamensis group (Reptilia, Gekkonidae) from Kanchanaburi Province, western Thailand by Attapol Rujirawan, Akrachai Aksornneam, Siriporn Yodthong, Parinya Pawangkhanant, Bryan L. Stuart, Anchalee Aowphol

Phylogenomic approaches reveal a robust time-scale phylogeny of the Terminal Fusarium Clade by Andrés Felipe Lizcano Salas, Jorge Duitama, Silvia Restrepo, Adriana Marcela Celis Ramírez

“…We also inferred new divergence time estimates, which differ from those of previous studies due to topology discordances and taxon sampling. The results suggested an important diversification process in the Neogene period, likely associated with the diversification and predominance of terrestrial ecosystems by angiosperms. …”

A NEW FOSSIL CLARIFIES THE ANATOMY AND PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF THE EOCENE GYMNODONT FISH †<em>ZIGNOICHTHYS OBLONGUS</em> (ZIGNO, 1874) by LORENZO RIDOLFI, GIUSEPPE MARRAMÀ, JAMES TYLER, Giorgio Carnevale

“… The Eocene tetraodontiform fish †Zignoichthys oblongus (Zigno, 1874) from the Bolca Konservat-Lagerstätte, northeastern Italy, is redescribed in detail based upon new material. This taxon exhibits a combination of features (parasphenoid shaft-like and bearing a ventral flange; non-protractile upper jaw; teeth incorporated into beak-like jaws; premaxilla without ascending process; palatine massive and firmly connected to the ethmo-vomerine region; supracleithrum distinctly oblique) that clearly supports its assignment to the gymnodonts, suborder Tetraodontoidei. …”

Pervasive horizontal transmission of Wolbachia in natural populations of closely related and widespread tropical skipper butterflies by Pedro Ribeiro, Anzhelika Butenko, Daniel Linke, Hamid Reza Ghanavi, Joana Isabel Meier, Niklas Wahlberg, Pável Matos-Maraví

“…Results We used whole genome sequencing data to investigate the phylogenetics, demographic history, and infection rate dynamics of Wolbachia in four species of the Spicauda genus of skipper butterflies (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae), a taxon that presents sympatric and often syntopic distribution, with drastic variability in species abundance in the Neotropical region. …”

Insights into stem Batomorphii: A new holomorphic ray (Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii) from the upper Jurassic of Germany. by Julia Türtscher, Patrick L Jambura, Frederik Spindler, Jürgen Kriwet

“…., which represents the first record of a ray species from the upper Kimmeridgian of Painten, Germany, and thus the oldest Late Jurassic ray taxon from Germany based on skeletal remains. This new batomorph is characterised by a unique body shape and a combination of skeletal features that distinguish it readily from all other known Late Jurassic rays. …”

High genomic connectivity within Anatoma at hydrothermal vents along the Central and Southeast Indian Ridge by Katharina Kniesz, Leon Hoffman, Pedro Martínez Arbizu, Terue C. Kihara

“…Traditional morphology and COI barcoding of Hoffman et al. (Eur J Taxon 826:135–162, 2022) were combined with 2b-RAD sequencing to investigate the anatomid community structure and connectivity between the different vent fields. …”

Investigating a hybrid mixed population leads to recognizing a new species of Arctostaphylos (Ericaceae) by Tito Abbo, Morgan A. Stickrod, Alexander Krohn, V. Thomas Parker, Michael C. Vasey, William Waycott, Amy Litt

“…While investigating the potential for Arctostaphylos species to hybridize in the mixed populations of Point Sal and Burton Mesa in Santa Barbara County, California, we discovered that Arctostaphylos from the Nipomo Mesa (San Luis Obispo County), formerly considered a northern population of A. rudis, are genetically and morphologically distinct. We name this new taxon A. nipumu after the ytt (Northern Chumash language) word for the Nipomo Mesa region. …”

Biodiversity of Lecanosticta pine-needle blight pathogens suggests a Mesoamerican Centre of origin by Ariska van der Nest, Michael J. Wingfield, Paulo C. Ortiz, Irene Barnes

“…Lecanosticta acicola was not found in any of the samples from Central America, and we hypothesize that it could be a northern hemisphere taxon. The high species diversity of Lecanosticta found in Mesoamerica suggests that this is a centre of diversity for the genus.…”

Maximising informativeness for target capture-based phylogenomics in Erica (Ericaceae) by Seth D. Musker, Nicolai M. Nürk, Michael D. Pirie

“…In particular, users have to specify which loci to sequence—a surprisingly difficult task, especially when working with non-model groups, as it requires pre-existing genomic resources in the form of assembled genomes and/or transcriptomes. In the absence of taxon-specific genomic resources, target sets exist that are designed to work across broad taxonomic scales. …”
