Barcoding analysis and taxonomic revision of Goliathus Lamarck, 1802 (Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae)

We conducted barcoding analysis of valid taxa in the genus Goliathus Lamarck, 1802 and clarified their relationships. Specimens of Goliathus goliatus (Drury, 1770) sampled in tropical rainforests from Cameroon to Kenya display degrees of genetic and phenot ...

High-throughput DNA barcoding of oligochaetes for abundance-based indices to assess the biological quality of sediments in streams and lakes

Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Régis Lionel Vivien

Aquatic oligochaete communities are valuable indicators of the biological quality of sediments in streams and lakes, but identification of specimens to the species level based on morphological features requires solid expertise in taxonomy and is possible o ...

280 Birds with One Stone: Inducing Multilingual Taxonomies from Wikipedia Using Character-Level Classification

Karl Aberer, Hamza Harkous, Rémi Philippe Lebret, Amit Gupta

We propose a novel fully-automated approach towards inducing multilingual taxonomies fromWikipedia. Given an English taxonomy, our approach first leverages the interlanguage links of Wikipedia to automatically construct training datasets for the is-a relat ...

Taxonomic revision of genus Fornasinius Bertoloni, 1853 with description of new taxa (Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae)

Michele De Palma

The genus Fornasinius was established in 1853 by Giuseppe BERTOLONI to receive a taxon that was sufficiently distinct from the known representatives of the genus Goliathus Lamarck, 1801, to merit a different placement. Here, the type species of the genus, ...

Genetic Determinism vs. Phenotypic Plasticity in Protist Morphology

Enrique Lara, Edward Mitchell, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek

Untangling the relationships between morphology and phylogeny is key to building a reliable taxonomy, but is especially challenging for protists, where the existence of cryptic or pseudocryptic species makes finding relevant discriminant traits difficult. ...

COI Barcoding of Nebelid Testate Amoebae (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida): Extensive Cryptic Diversity and Redefinition of the Hyalospheniidae Schultze

Enrique Lara, Edward Mitchell, Thierry Jean Heger

We used Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit 1 (COI) to assess the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy of Nebela sensu stricto and similar taxa (Nebela group, Arcellinida) in order to clarify the taxonomic validity of morphological characters. The COI data not o ...

Biogeography, Evolution and Diversity of Free-Living Protists : Insights from Testate Amoebae

Thierry Jean Heger

Although widely recognized as essential actors of ecosystem processes and representing a significant part of the Earth's biodiversity, free-living protists are poorly known. Major questions concerning their diversity, ecology, and evolution remain complete ...
