A new R package to parse plant species occurrence records into unique collection events efficiently reduces data redundancy.
Biodiversity data aggregators, such as Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) suffer from inflation of the number of occurrence records when data from different databases are merged but not fully reconciled. The ParseGBIF workflow is designed to parse duplicate GBIF species occurrence records into unique collection events (gatherings) and to optimise... -

An integrative approach to species delimitation sinks three Chinese limestone karst Elatostema (Urticaceae) species.
is recognized as a taxonomically difficult group due to the reduced nature of the tiny flowers and inflorescences, also the large number of species (ca 650 to 700). Different opinions on morphological species delimitation have resulted in instability, which is problematic in such a speciose group. In this paper, the... -

How diverse are the mountain karst forests of Mexico?
Tropical forests on karstic relief (tropical karst forest) are among the most species-rich biomes. These forests play pivotal roles as global climate regulators and for human wellbeing. Their long-term conservation could be central to global climate mitigation and biodiversity conservation. In Mexico, karst landscapes occupy 20% of the total land... -

Deep Insights Into the Plastome Evolution and Phylogenetic Relationships of the Tribe Urticeae (Family Urticaceae).
Urticeae , a tribe of Urticaceae well-known for their stinging trichomes, consists of more than 10 genera and approximately 220 species. Relationships within this tribe remain poorly known due to the limited molecular and taxonomic sampling in previous studies, and chloroplast genome (CP genome/plastome) evolution is still largely unaddressed. To... -

Pilea danxiaensis (Urticaceae), a new species in the Danxia landform from Guangdong, China including a description of the entire chloroplast genome.
L.F.Fu, A.K.Monro & Y.G.Wei, a new species of Urticaceae from Danxia landform, Guangdong, China, is described and photographed. Phylogenetic analyses based on three DNA regions (ITS, and ) suggest that the new species belongs to P. sect. Pilea. Within the section, the new species is morphologically most similar to and...Fu, Long-Fei ; Xiong, Chi ; Monro, Alexandre K. ; Fan, Qiang ; Chen, Zai-Xiong …

Revised Species Delimitation in the Giant Water Lily Genus Victoria (Nymphaeaceae) Confirms a New Species and Has Implications for Its Conservation.
Reliably documenting plant diversity is necessary to protect and sustainably benefit from it. At the heart of this documentation lie species concepts and the practical methods used to delimit taxa. Here, we apply a total-evidence, iterative methodology to delimit and document species in the South American genus (Nymphaeaceae). The systematics... -

Most trumpet moths don’t feed on plants of the nettle family but Paratischeria does: the first discovery of Tischeriidae (Lepidoptera) on Urticaceae in Asia.
This is the first record of Urticaceae-feeding trumpet moths (Tischeriidae) from Asia. We describe Paratischeria boehmerica Diškus & Stonis, sp. nov. and P. grossa Diškus & Stonis, sp. nov., two distinctive new species of Tischeriidae recently discovered from Laos, South East Asia, feeding on plants of the nettle family. Urticaceae...Stonis, Jonas R. ; Diškus, Arūnas ; Monro, Alexandre K. ; Dai, Xiaohua ; Xu, Jiasheng

Combination of Sanger and target-enrichment markers supports revised generic delimitation in the problematic ‘Urera clade’ of the nettle family (Urticaceae)
Urera Gaudich, s.l. is a pantropical genus comprising c. 35 species of trees, shrubs, and vines. It has a long history of taxonomic uncertainty, and is repeatedly recovered as polyphyletic within a poorly resolved complex of genera in the Urticeae tribe of the nettle family (Urticaceae). To provide generic delimitations...Wells, Tom ; Maurin, Olivier ; Dodsworth, Steven ; Friis, Ib ; Cowan, Robyn …

Paraphyly of the genus Boehmeria (Urticaceae): a response to Liang et al. ‘Relationships among Chinese Boehmeria species and the evolution of various clade’
Boehmeria, as currently circumscribed, comprises 52 species and has a pantropical distribution. Liang et al. propose a sectional classification of Boehmeria based on the phylogenetic analysis of SNP data for 20 species and an additional 10 subspecific taxa of these at the rank of variety or form. They restrict their...Monro, Alexandre K. ; Dodsworth, Steven ; Fu, Long-Fei ; Friis, Ib ; Wilmot-Dear, Christine M. …

Two new combinations in Elatostematoides (Urticaceae) for species from Sarawak and Sumatra.
Based on a recently published phylogeny, Elatostematoides is monophyletic and distinct from Elatostema. As more taxa are included in the molecular phylogeny, new combinations will need to be created to accommodate in Elatostematoides species formerly in Elatostema. In the present paper we provide evidence that Elatostema hirtum belongs to Elatostematoides.... -

A Preliminary Evaluation of The Karst Flora of Brazil Using Collections Data
Karst is defined as landscapes that are underlain by soluble rock in which there is appreciable water movement arising from a combination of high rock solubility and well-developed secondary (fracture) porosity. Karsts occupy approximately 20% of the planet’s dry ice-free land and are of great socioeconomic importance, as they supply...Bystriakova, Nadia ; Alves De Melo, Pablo Hendrigo ; Moat, Justin ; Lughadha, Eimear Nic ; Monro, Alexandre K.
