Taxonomic characterisation of the Regianum clade (genus Tuber) and the trait evolution of spore size among true truffles.
The genus comprises ectomycorrhizal fungal species producing belowground ascomata, including the gastronomically most prominent hypogeous fungi. Since the discovery and description of new species are ongoing, the proportion of undescribed species can be considerable and the taxonomy of the genus goes often through changes. The taxonomy of the genus would... -

The genus Fomitopsis (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) reconsidered.
Based on seven- and three-gene datasets, we discuss four alternative approaches for a reclassification of ( , ). After taking into account morphological diversity in the family, we argue in favour of distinguishing three genera only, , and . becomes a large genus with 128 accepted species, containing almost all...Spirin, V. ; Runnel, K. ; Vlasák, J. ; Viner, I. ; Barrett, M.

Online tree expansion could help solve the problem of scalability in Bayesian phylogenetics.
Bayesian phylogenetics is now facing a critical point. Over the last 20 years, Bayesian methods have reshaped phylogenetic inference and gained widespread popularity due to their high accuracy, the ability to quantify the uncertainty of inferences and the possibility of accommodating multiple aspects of evolutionary processes in the models that...Truszkowski, Jakub ; Perrigo, Allison ; Broman, David ; Ronquist, Fredrik ; Antonelli, Alexandre

Akanthomyces zaquensis (Cordycipitaceae, Hypocreales), a new species isolated from both the stroma and the sclerotium of Ophiocordyceps sinensis in Qinghai, China.
An undescribed taxon of entomopathogenic fungi, Akanthomyces zaquensis, was introduced based on the collections from Duoxiao Village beside the Za Qu River in Qinghai Province, China. The taxon is characterized by its host and habitat of isolations from both the stroma and the sclerotium of Ophiocordyceps sinensis and by producing...Wang, Yong-Hui ; Wang, Wen-Jing ; Wang, Ke ; Dong, Cai-Hong ; Hao, Ji-Rong …

Morphological Continua Make Poor Species: Genus-Wide Morphometric Survey of the European Bee Orchids (Ophrys L.).
Despite (or perhaps because of) intensive multidisciplinary research, opinions on the optimal number of species recognised within the Eurasian orchid genus Ophrys range from nine to at least 400. The lower figure of nine macrospecies is based primarily on seeking small but reliable discontinuities in DNA ‘barcode’ regions, an approach... -

Phylogenetic relationships and biogeography of Asia Callicarpa (Lamiaceae), with consideration of a long-distance dispersal across the Pacific Ocean —insights into divergence modes of pantropical flora.
There are about 140 species of L. 1753 (Lamiaceae), with more species richness in tropical to subtropical Asia and the New World. The genus might provide an insight into the amphi-Pacific disjunction pattern of tropical and subtropical vegetation. This study has greatly improved the phylogenetic underpinning for , derived from...Cai, Huimin ; Liu, Xing ; Wang, Wenqiao ; Ma, Zhonghui ; Li, Bo …

The evolutionary history of the Central Asian steppe-desert taxon Nitraria (Nitrariaceae) as revealed by integration of fossil pollen morphology and molecular data.
The transition from a greenhouse to an icehouse world at the Eocene-Oligocene Transition (EOT) coincided with a large decrease of pollen from the steppe-adapted genus Nitraria. This genus, now common along the Mediterranean coast, Asia and Australia, has a proposed coastal origin and a geographically widespread fossil record. Here we... -

Phylogenetic placement and reappraisal of Diorygma karnatakense including the new synonym, Diorygma dandeliense, from Maharashtra, India.
This study re-examined the status of species of Eshw. known from the Western Ghats using an integrative taxonomy approach that includes morphological and chemical data, as well as multigene phylogenetic analyses. Prior to this work, the two species and were distinguished primarily on lirellae morphology (branching pattern) and the number... -

Phylogenomic inference of the African tribe Monodoreae (Annonaceae) and taxonomic revision of Dennettia, Uvariodendron and Uvariopsis.
Monodoreae (Annonaceae) is a tribe composed of 11 genera and 90 species restricted to the tropical African rain forests. All the genera are taxonomically well circumscribed except the species rich genera and which lack a recent taxonomic revision. Here, we used a robust phylogenomic approach, including all the 90 currently... -

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...
