title: Description of two new species of Ophiocordyceps: O. sinocampes and O. cystidiata (Ophiocordycipitaceae, Hypocreales) from typical karst landform forests in Guizhou, China

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Xu, Zhong-Shun, Deng, Li-ping, Wang, Hai-Yan, Tian, Hui-Ling, Qu, Jiao-Jiao, Dai, Yong-dong, Zou, Xiao (2025): Description of two new species of Ophiocordyceps: O. sinocampes and O. cystidiata (Ophiocordycipitaceae, Hypocreales) from typical karst landform forests in Guizhou, China. MycoKeys 114: 1-27, DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.114.134323AbstractKarst habitats are hotspots of diversity and endemism. Their naturally fragmented distributions across broad geographic landscapes have led to a complex array of smaller evolutionary ecosystems. Comprehensive biodiversity assessments of karst habitats have revealed that these ecosystems contain a high level of endemism. During a survey of cordycipitoid fungi in the karst region of southwest Guizhou, China, we identified and proposed two new species, based on morphology and multi-locus (nrSSU, nrLSU, tef, rpb 1, and rpb 2) phylogenetic analyses. O. cystidiata sp. nov. is characterized by gray-white to yellow fertile part, verrucose phialides, and conidia enveloped in a cystic thickened mucus sheath, distinguishing it from other species. O. sinocampes sp. nov. is distinguished by long tapering phialides with inflated bases. Phylogenetic analyses using five loci reveal that O. cystidiata shares a close relationship with O. fenggangensis, O. musicaudata, O. alboperitheciata, and Hirsutella kuankuoshuiensis, while O. sinocampes is closely related to O. multiperitheciata and H. strigosa. Herein, we completed the descriptions, illustrations and molecular phylogeny of these two new species. The host diversity of O. sinocampes has also been documented within the orders Lepidoptera and Coccoidea. Our research further enriches the diversity of cordycipitoid species in the typical karst landform areas of Guizhou, China.

title: New genus and species of short-tailed whipscorpion (Schizomida: Hubbardiidae) from the Venezuelan Amazon

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Colmenares, Pío A., Moreno-González, Jairo A., Villarreal, Osvaldo, Prendini, Lorenzo (2025): New genus and species of short-tailed whipscorpion (Schizomida: Hubbardiidae) from the Venezuelan Amazon. Zootaxa 5563 (1): 84-95, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5563.1.9, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5563.1.9AbstractA new genus and species of short-tailed whipscorpion (Schizomida: Hubbardiidae Cook, 1899) is described based on specimens collected in the Venezuelan state of Amazonas. The new genus differs from other Neotropical genera in the presence of six setae on opisthosomal tergite II, the absence of seta Dm 4 on the flagellum in both sexes, the female flagellum comprising four segments, and the median lobes of the spermatheca being four times longer than the lateral lobes. Jipai longevus gen. et sp. nov. increases the count of South American schizomid genera to fourteen and the count of species to 57. The type locality of the new taxon is situated in the Guiana region of Amazonia s. l., where three other hubbardiid genera have also been recorded. This discovery contributes to the understanding of Amazonian schizomid diversity and highlights the need for further sampling in this diverse, vulnerable and poorly explored area.

title: Genetic diversity of populations of Simulium reptans s. l. (Diptera: Simuliidae) in the territory of Russia and Northern Kazakhstan

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Vaulin, Oleg V., Petrozhitskaya, Liudmila V., Novgorodova, Tatiana A. (2024): Genetic diversity of populations of Simulium reptans s. l. (Diptera: Simuliidae) in the territory of Russia and Northern Kazakhstan. Zootaxa 5543 (3): 329-342, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5543.3.2, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5543.3.2AbstractThe presence of sibling (cryptic) species among bloodsucking black flies can be a serious problem in assessing both their diversity and the role of individual species in the transmission of dangerous human and animal pathogens. The peculiarities of molecular genetic structure of populations and ecology of black flies of Simulium reptans s.l. (complex of Simulium reptans (Linnaeus) and Simulium reptantoides Carlsson) in European and Asian parts of Russia and Northern Kazakhstan in comparison with populations from Central and Northern Europe were investigated. Using restriction analysis of the COI gene and subsequent sequencing, we searched for unique mtDNA variants that could belong to previously undescribed forms of the studied group. In the north of the European part of Russia (north of Eastern Europe), only S. reptans A was registered, and in the Asian part of Russia (Siberia) and Northern Kazakhstan, only S. reptans B was found. Using phylogenetic analysis of the total data, three branches of S. reptans B were revealed and named in accordance with the areas of their distribution–East European, Eurasian and Asian. Simulium reptantoides Carlsson has currently been found only in Europe. The peculiarities of distribution and possible adaptations to different habitats of S. reptantoides and representatives of individual groups within S. reptans are discussed. Based on the characteristics of the sampling sites of the studied specimens, as well as the samples available in the NCBI database, the ecological and geographical features of the habitats of the molecular forms of Simulium reptans A and B were revealed. To obtain more accurate information on the distribution of S. reptans A and B forms in Eurasia, taking into account the elevational zonation, it is necessary to conduct additional studies in the mountainous regions of South-Western Europe, Siberia and Northern China. Based on the sequences presented in the DNA database, a method (AS-PCR COI variant) for separating the cryptic species– Simulium reptans (Linnaeus) and S. reptantoides Carlsson –was proposed. During testing of this method on the material collected in Russia and Northern Kazakhstan, only S. reptans was identified (S. reptantoides was absent), which completely coincided with the sequencing results. To further confirm the effectiveness of the method, it is necessary to conduct testing on material including representatives of the both species.

title: Defining "Natural Intentionality" in Interstellar Objects:  An Autonomous System Model Based on the Non-Ballistic Behavior of 3I/ATLAS

description: If interstellar objects such as 3I/ATLAS are indeed of natural origin, then their observed behavior suggests that natural systems themselves may exhibit goal-oriented, selective dynamics.

This work does not claim proof of intent, but argues that the appearance of intentionality is not an anomaly to be dismissed, but a phenomenon requiring its own physical and conceptual explanation.

title: Sequenced Hybrid Electromechanically Assisted and Conventional Gait Training for Concurrent Optimization of Weight Management, Blood Pressure Regulation, and Functional Mobility in Chronic Stroke Survivors: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

description: Background: Chronic stroke survivors often face ongoing mobility limitations along with cardiometabolic comorbidities such as obesity and hypertension, which increase the risks of recurrent events and lower quality of life. Electromechanically assisted gait training (EAGT) offers high-intensity, repetitive practice, while conventional gait training (CGT) supports real-world functional transfer. The best sequence of these treatments to effectively address weight loss, blood pressure (BP) management, and gait improvement is still uncertain. Objective: To evaluate a sequenced hybrid protocol (initial EAGT followed by CGT) against EAGT alone or CGT alone in promoting concurrent improvements in body weight, BP, and gait parameters among chronic stroke survivors with overweight or obesity hypertension. Methods: This multicenter randomized controlled trial recruited 140 participants (aged 45-78 years; over 6 months post-stroke; BMI of 25 kg/m² or higher; hypertension), stratified by stroke severity. The groups included: Hybrid (n=48), EAGT-only (n=46), and CGT-only (n=46). The interventions lasted 12 weeks, consisting of 30 sessions. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and at a 3-month follow-up. Results: Hybrid sequencing resulted in greater weight loss (-4.3 ± 1.9 kg) and systolic BP reduction (-13.1 ± 5.8 mmHg) compared to EAGT-only (-2.9 ± 1.6 kg; -8.4 ± 5.1 mmHg) and CGT-only (-2.2 ± 1.5 kg; -7.5 ± 5.3 mmHg; p&lt;0.001). Gait speed and endurance improvements were similar across groups, with hybrid showing the best retention at follow-up. Conclusion: Phased hybrid EAGT-CGT enhances cardiometabolic health and mobility, offering an innovative multifaceted rehabilitation approach.

A redescription of L. nigromaculata is given, and diagnosis and color illustrations are provided for both L. nigromaculata and L. nigrita. Parastasia ohausi Chûjô, 1966 (new synonym), an unnecessary replacement name for and junior objective synonym of L. nigromaculata, was found in a neglected publication by the late Michio Chûjô. A lectotype is designated for L. nigromaculata guttata (Frey, 1970) (new synonym) which is recognized as another junior synonym of L. nigromaculata. All known distribution records of the two species are mapped, and L. nigromaculata is newly recorded from India and Vietnam. The exact location of “Lakhon” in Indo-China, which is currently Nakhon Phanom of Thailand, is also discussed.

title: <b><i>Targeted Ankle Proprioceptive Training Improves Balance, Gait, and Functional Mobility in Chronic Stroke Survivors: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial with Longitudinal Follow-Up</i></b>

description: Abstract Background: Ankle proprioceptive impairment is a key predictor of persistent balance and gait deficits following stroke, with strong cross-sectional associations particularly to inversion proprioception. However, causality, longitudinal progression, and efficacy in moderate-to-severe or non-ambulatory chronic cases remain unestablished. Objective: This multicenter randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the causal effects of targeted ankle proprioceptive training on balance, gait, and functional mobility in chronic stroke survivors across severity levels, including long-term retention and proprioceptive trajectories across stroke stages. Methods: 140 chronic stroke participants (mean age 58.4 ± 11.2 years; 18–72 months post-stroke) were randomized to 12 weeks of targeted proprioceptive training (n=70; robotic-assisted discrimination plus weight-bearing tasks emphasizing inversion) or standard rehabilitation (n=70). Primary outcome: weight-bearing ankle proprioception (Active Movement Extent Discrimination Apparatus, AMEDA). Secondary outcomes: Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go (TUG), 10-meter walk test, Fugl-Meyer Lower Extremity, and Functional Ambulation Category. Assessments occurred at baseline, post-intervention, and 6-month follow-up. A longitudinal subsample (n=42) tracked proprioceptive changes from acute to chronic phases. Results: The intervention yielded significant, clinically meaningful improvements in inversion proprioception (affected side Δ=0.21 AUC), balance (BBS +12.4 points), gait speed (+0.32 m/s), and mobility (all p&lt;0.001), sustained at 6 months. Benefits extended to severe/non-ambulatory subgroups. Mediation analysis revealed 72% of functional gains were mediated by inversion proprioception improvements. Longitudinal data showed progressive bilateral decline, steepest in inversion during subacute phase. Conclusion: Targeted ankle proprioceptive training causally enhances functional recovery in chronic stroke across severity spectra, with durable effects. Routine integration into clinical practice is supported to address sensory deficits and optimize outcomes.
