The ascidian fauna of the Bahamas remains grossly understudied. Here, we examined specimens of the genus Clavelina collected from four Bahamian islands using morphological observations and genetic barcoding. Only three species of Clavelina have been...
Past efforts to identify and characterize minimally monophyletic groups (microgenera) by deconstructing larger bryophyte genera successfully determined 10 microgenera comprising the moss family Streptotrichaceae. Thirty other microgenera have also be...
The genus Strumigenys is the third most diverse among ants, having been reviewed globally. Despite this comprehensive review, new species are frequently discovered in most biogeographic regions. Here, we describe two new species, Strumigenys itannae...
A reliable character system is crucial to taxonomy and systematics, and it promises valid downstream inferences, e.g., estimates of diversity and disparity, reconstruction of evolutionary history, and even stratigraphic correlations. Modern taxonomy...
The genus Cernotina Ross, 1938 is represented in the southeastern United States by three nominal species: Cernotina calcea Ross, 1938, Cernotina spicata Ross, 1938, and Cernotina truncona Ross, 1947. Of all Cernotina species, only the larva of C. spi...
Brachynemurus bowlesi, sp. n. is a newly discovered myrmeleontid from the Sonoran Province, the northernmost subtropical region of Mexico. The new species fits within the Brachynemurus versutus subgroup, which now includes five species, all of t...
A new monotypic genus of Prodidominae, Paleotoca gen. n., is proposed to include one cave species collected in a paleoburrow and ferruginous caves from Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Minas Gerais, Brazil: Paleotoca diminassp. n. (♂&...
The taxonomic status of butterfly rays within the genus Gymnura remains a subject of ongoing debate among researchers. Some authors recognize up to five valid species for the Americas, while others considered several to be synonyms, which has posed a...
We present descriptions of two newly discovered species of Myxobolus (Myxobolidae) that infect Mugil curema: Myxobolus mundauensis n. sp. found in gills and Myxobolus patriciae n. sp. found in intestines. These descriptions are based on the morpholog...
Precise identification of diatom species is fundamental to correctly interpreting their roles in the marine ecosystems; the documentation of species records with illustrations is therefore essential to guarantee ecological works and the continuous us...
Recently, based on light microscopy images, the tubercle structure on the seed surface of 100 Silene species was quantitatively described, including tubercle width, height, and curvature associated with general morphometric data. Curvature measures t...
Parasitic otitis is an inflammatory process that can affect the external to internal cattle ear, causing discomfort in animals, impairing performance, and even leading to animal death. The infection was initially associated with nematodes of the Rhab...
This study presents the first record of T. lindbergi from the southwestern Atlantic Ocean, based on specimens collected from the smalleye croaker Nebris microps Cuvier (Sciaenidae), off the coast of Maranhão Island, State of Maranhão, B...
