Ultramafic substrates can play a role in fostering ecological adaptation and microevolutionary dynamics. The <i>Armeria denticulata</i> complex includes two flowering plant species (<i>A. denticulata</i> and <i>A. saviana</i>): the former is a strict serpentinophyte endemic to …
Read PDFThe <i>Eria</i> sensu lato (<i>Eria</i> s.l.) complex represents a highly diverse yet taxonomically challenging orchid lineage. To comprehensively elucidate its evolutionary history, we sequenced 14 complete chloroplast genomes and assembled a robust 18-taxon dataset encompassing …
Read PDF<i>Camphora officinarum</i> (syn. <i>Cinnamomum camphora</i>) is an ecologically, medicinally, and economically important tree species widely known for its essential oils (EOs), timber, and long history of use in traditional medicine. In recent years, renewed interest …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from a female <i>Pycnomerus fuliginosus</i> (beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Zopheridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 359.22 megabases. Most of the assembly (95.81%) is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal …
Read PDFThe yeast genus <i>Torulaspora</i> (subphylum <i>Saccharomycotina</i>, family <i>Saccharomycetaceae</i>) is mostly known from its type species, <i>T. delbrueckii</i>, a frequent colonizer of wine and sourdough bread fermentations. The genus currently contains 10 species that are typically …
Read PDF<i>Cymbidium</i> (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae), with around 60 species, is widely-distributed across Southeast Asia, providing a nice system for studying the processes that underlie patterns of biodiversity in the region. However, phylogenetic relationships of <i>Cymbidium</i> have not …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The ANA-grade, encompassing early-diverging angiosperm lineages, Amborellales, Nymphaeales, and Austrobaileyales, represents a fundamental phase in the evolutionary history of flowering plants. Since the completion of key assembly of the Amborella genome, the continuous influx of …
Read PDF<i>Anthurium</i> (Araceae) is one of the most species-rich Neotropical genera, yet its infrageneric classification remains unresolved. This study tests the monophyly of the morphologically defined <i>Anthurium</i> sect. <i>Pachyneurium</i> diagnosed by rosulate habit, involute prefoliation, and …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Amidst the escalating loss of global biodiversity, freshwater mussels (family Unionidae) have become one of the most imperiled animal groups. Acquiring more biological and phylogenetic information on understudied taxa constitutes a pivotal aspect of conservation …
Read PDFBats are asymptomatic reservoirs of several zoonotic viruses. This may result from long-term co-evolution between viruses and bats, that have led to host adaptations contributing to an effective balance between strong antiviral responses with innate …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The evolutionary relationships within Stomiiformes, a diverse order of deep-sea fishes dominating the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones, remain contentious due to conflicting morphological and molecular evidence. These fishes, comprising 464 species across four traditionally recognized …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly of the diplonemid <i>Rhynchopus euleeides</i> (Euglenozoa; Diplonemea; Diplonemea; Diplonemidae). The genome sequence is 199.0 megabases long, with most of the assembly scaffolded into 88 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The multipartite mitochondrial genome …
Read PDFThe Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex (CGSC) is one of the most devastating fungal phytopathogens, and is composed of three main clades: Kahawae, Musae, and Theobromicola. Despite the diversity of CGSC, there is limited understanding on …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Ulleungdo harbours a unique ecosystem owing to its isolation from the mainland alongside its maritime climate. The island, formed via volcanic activity, is the largest island in the East Sea of Korea and retains a …

Read PDFA microbial community study using a culture-dependent method was conducted on dehydrated sludge collected from a steel factory's wastewater treatment plant. One isolate, designated QWL-01<sup>T</sup>, was a strictly anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterium with coccoid …
Read PDFPsychoactive mushrooms in the genus <i>Psilocybe</i> have immense cultural value and have been used for centuries in Mesoamerica. Despite the recent surge of interest in these mushrooms due to the psychotherapeutic potential of their natural …
Read PDF<i>Spiroplasma</i> (class <i>Mollicutes</i>) is a diverse wall-less bacterial genus whose members are strictly dependent on eukaryotic hosts (mostly arthropods and plants), with which they engage in pathogenic to mutualistic interactions. <i>Spiroplasma</i> are generally fastidious to …
Read PDFSubstitution rate estimates are central to evolutionary biology, underpinning divergence-time inference and a wide range of macroevolutionary analyses. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) rates are widely used for this purpose, yet they are often derived from a …
