title: Deep-sea Echinoids from the Galician Bank (North Atlantic Ocean)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article García-Guillén, Laura M., Saucède, Thomas, Ríos, Pilar, Manjón-Cabeza, M. Eugenia (2025): Deep-sea Echinoids from the Galician Bank (North Atlantic Ocean). Zootaxa 5601 (1): 169-180, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5601.1.9, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5601.1.9AbstractThe Galician Bank (GB) is a seamount in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean (Northwest Spain) at 180 km from the Galician coast. Its summit is between 650 and 1500 m below the surface as it rises from the abyssal plain at 4000 m depth. The dynamics of water masses and the geomorphology of the area favour the retention of nutrients and larvae, augmenting the diversity of benthic communities.The present study aims to inventory and reviewing of the echinoid fauna collected during the LIFE+ INDEMARES project carried out on the Galician Bank. New findings are compared with previous studies of the Official Spanish Checklist (IEEM: “Inventario Español de Especies Marinas”, 2017, 2020) to update our knowledge of the diversity and distribution of echinoid species in the study region.During the surveys carried out under the auspices of project LIFE+INDEMARES on the Galician Bank (2010–2011), a total of 139 echinoids belonging to 8 different species were sampled from 27 stations, between 744 and 1764 m depth. The most frequently collected species were Cidaris cidaris (Linnaeus, 1758) and Sperosoma grimaldii Koehler, 1897. After public datasets analysis, it turns out that one species should be considered as a new record in Spanish waters: Echinocyamus grandiporus Mortensen, 1907, and two for the North Atlantic Spanish Marine Sub-Division: Holanthus expergitus (Loven, 1871) and Plexechinus hirsutus Mortensen, 1905. In addition, the bathymetric range of Echinocyamus pusillus (O.F. Müller, 1776) was extended to 1313 m depth.

title: Microfungi associated with dead caterpillars and spiders in Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, P. R. China

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Yang, Erfu, Karunarathna, Samantha C., Priyashantha, Alviti Kankanamalage Hasith, Promputtha, Itthayakorn, Chen, Xuemei, Elgorban, Abdallah M., Bashir, Nawaz Haider, Tibpromma, Saowaluck, Dossa, Gbadamassi G. O. (2024): Microfungi associated with dead caterpillars and spiders in Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, P. R. China. Phytotaxa 644 (4): 243-257, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.644.4.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.644.4.1AbstractDuring an investigation of microfungi associated with insects in the tropical region of Yunnan Province, China, dead fungi infected within several caterpillars and spiders in the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden were found. Two selected fungal strains were isolated from the surface of the cadavers and subjected to morphological and molecular identification. Phylogenetic analyses were carried out on the subsequent isolates based on multiple gene sequences (ITS, LSU, SSU, rpb1, gapdh, and tef1-α). The observations and the analyses confirmed that the fungi belong to Curvularia geniculata (associated with dead caterpillars) and Purpureocillium atypicola (associated with dead spiders). Here, we have given detailed descriptions of the species along with photo plates and phylogenetic trees showing their taxonomic placements.

title: Cryptic invasions of Pseudopolydora (Annelida: Spionidae), with description of a new species from Queensland, Australia

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Radashevsky, Vasily I., Malyar, Vasily V., Pankova, Victoria V. (2024): Cryptic invasions of Pseudopolydora (Annelida: Spionidae), with description of a new species from Queensland, Australia. Zootaxa 5486 (2): 213-240, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5486.2.3, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5486.2.3AbstractDuring surveys worldwide, we collected adult and larval specimens of Pseudopolydora Czerniavsky, 1881 similar to P. achaeta Radashevsky & Hsieh, 2000 and P. rosebelae Radashevsky & Migotto, 2009 far from their type localities in Taiwan and Brazil, respectively. Analysis of sequence data of five gene fragments: mitochondrial COI and 16S rDNA, nuclear 18S rDNA and 28S rDNA, and Histone 3 (3114 bp in total) of individuals from Nha Trang Bay (Vietnam), São Paulo (Brazil), Florida (USA), and the Caribbean Sea (Martinique) confirmed their conspecificity with P. achaeta from Taiwan. Based on the morphology, we also report this species for the first time for the East Sea (South Korea) and provide new records for the north-western part of the Sea of Japan (Russia). The analysis also showed the conspecificity of worms from Vietnam with P. rosebelae from Brazil. Based on the morphology, we also report P. rosebelae for the first time for the Caribbean Sea (Belize), South China Sea (Thailand), and Hawaii. Developed pelagic larvae of P. achaeta and P. rosebelae from Nha Trang Bay are described and illustrated. A worm from the Great Barrier Reef (Queensland, Australia) earlier identified as P. cf. rosebelae, is referred to the new species Pseudopolydora nivea sp. nov. Following our earlier hypothesis about the origin of Pseudopolydora in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean, we explain the occurrence of these worms, including Pseudopolydora floridensis Delgado-Blas, 2008, on the Atlantic coasts of North and South America by unintentional transportation in ballast water, followed by successful invasions. We assume that the penetration of warm waters of the East China Sea through the Korea Strait and the warming of the waters of the Sea of Japan have led to the extension of the range of tropical-subtropical P. achaeta to the north-western part of the Sea of Japan.

title: Geometric morphometric assessment of Guanshan trilobites (Yunnan Province, China) reveals a limited diversity of palaeolenid taxa

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Zhao, Wenyu, Liu, Jianni, Bicknell, Russell D. C. (2020): Geometric morphometric assessment of Guanshan trilobites (Yunnan Province, China) reveals a limited diversity of palaeolenid taxa. Palaeontologia Electronica (a 22) 23 (2): 1-15, DOI: 10.26879/1062, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.26879/1062ABSTRACTThe Guanshan Biota is a typical Burgess Shale-type Cambrian-aged Lagerstätte with diverse trilobites. As such, the taxonomy of trilobites from the Guanshan Biota, especially the palaeolenid group, has been the focus of research over the last decade. To develop this research, we present a geometric morphometric analysis of cranidial shape in 60 specimens from three sections of the Guanshan Biota from the Wulongqing Formation (Cambrian Series 2, Stage 4), Yunnan Province, South China. We show that cranidia of Megapalaeolenus deprati and Palaeolenus douvillei occupy distinct regions of morphospaces and that P. douvillei and P. “lantenoisi ” occupy the same region of morphospace. Combined with qualitative observation on the thorax, P. “ lantenoisi” is here considered a junior synonym of P. douvillei. Megapalaeolenus deprati is still considered valid and is distinguished from P. douvillei by its rounded glabella, longer palpebral lobes, shorter ocular ridges, and more developed posterolateral projections. Its pleural spines are more curved, and pleural lobes are markedly wider than P. douvillei. These results highlight that the supposed diversity of palaeolenid taxa in lower Cambrian deposits need reconsideration, potentially using similar morphometric methods.Wenyu Zhao.

title: First in situ middle Pliocene cercopithecoid fossils from the Palaeokarst System of Bolt’s Farm (South Africa)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Gommery, Dominique, Kgasi, Lazarus, Vilakazi, Nonhlanhla, Sénégas, Frank, Pickford, Martin, Kuhn, Brian, Schnyder, Johann, Pois, Véronique (2023): First in situ middle Pliocene cercopithecoid fossils from the Palaeokarst System of Bolt’s Farm (South Africa). Geodiversitas 45 (5): 163-195, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2023v45a5ABSTRACTImportant collections of Plio-Pleistocene cercopithecoid remains has have been discovered in South African karstic sites but few are older than the Late Pliocene. The fossiliferous Palaeokarst System of Bolt’s Farm in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site of UNESCO is known to have yielded a few remarkable remains of cercopithecoids, mainly between 1936 and 1948. The excavation done in Brad Pit B (BPB) which was discovered in 2010, led to the in situ discovery of some fossils in karst-fill breccia correlated faunally to the Middle Pliocene. The cercopithecoids are represented by Parapapio broomi Jones, 1937, and Cercopithecoides cf. williamsi Mollett, 1947. At BPB, we have potentially the oldest known co-occurrence of these two taxa in Southern Africa, the second oldest being at Sterkfontein-Member 2. The currently available evidence suggests dispersal of these two genera from East Africa to Southern Africa, a hypothesis generally accepted by most authors, even though the period of dispersal is now considered to be somewhat earlier than previously thought. Whereas the Early Pliocene environment in the Cradle of Humankind seems to have been drier than that of today, it was probably more humid during the Middle Pliocene which would have allowed the dispersal of these two taxa.

title: Monoecocestus (Cestoda: Anoplocephalidae) diversity in Sigmodontinae rodents characterized by morphology and molecular methods

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Martins, Natalia Beatriz Guerreiro, Robles, María Del Rosario, Navone, Graciela Teresa, Callejón, Rocío (2023): Monoecocestus (Cestoda: Anoplocephalidae) diversity in Sigmodontinae rodents characterized by morphology and molecular methods. Zootaxa 5380 (1): 37-55, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5380.1.3, URL: https://mapress.com/zt/article/download/zootaxa.5380.1.3/52357AbstractThis paper provides new morphological and molecular data for identifying Monoecocestus species from rodents: a) morphological update of Monoecocestus spp., b) morphological data on Anoplocephalidae taxa from Sigmodontinae rodents, c) analyses of the genetic distances between the specimens studied and other Anoplocephalidae from rodents available in GenBank, and phylogenetic inferences. A total of 25 specimens of Holochilus spp. were examined from four provinces of Argentina. Cestodes specimens were removed from the rodents’ small intestines. Conventional studies were used for the morphological and molecular analysis. Four taxa of Monoecocestus were identified. Monoecocestus threlkeldi was identified as first record in Holochilus chacarius and from Argentina. Molecular and morphological aspects of Monoecocestus sp.1, Monoecocestus sp.2 and Monoecocestus sp.3 were described. Specimens belonging to the genus Monoecocestus may represent closely related species, demonstrating the importance of using integrative taxonomic approaches to understand biological diversity. The continuity of the studies on Anoplocephalidae will allows to advance in investigation of molecular analyses and ecological aspects that determine parasite-host-environment relationship.

title: Systematic revision and molecular phylogenetics refine the generic classification of the bark louse family Stenopsocidae (Insecta: Psocodea: Psocomorpha)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Liang, Feiyang, Liu, Xingyue (2024): Systematic revision and molecular phylogenetics refine the generic classification of the bark louse family Stenopsocidae (Insecta: Psocodea: Psocomorpha). Arthropod Systematics & amp; Phylogeny 82: 433-446, DOI: 10.3897/asp.82.e114349AbstractPsocomorpha, as one of the suborders of the order Psocodea, represents a large group of free-living bark lice. The phylogenetic relationships among / within the major groups, such as families, subfamilies, tribes, etc., of the bark lice need extensive investigation. The family Stenopsocidae belongs to the infraorder Caeciliusetae, which is a large group of Psocomorpha and is one of the common groups in Asia. Here we infer the intergeneric relationships of Stenopsocidae based on the mitochondrial genes and the nuclear 18 S rRNA. The result supports the monophyly of Stenopsocidae and suggests the paraphyly of the genus Stenopsocus. Combining the morphological evidence, we propose a new genus, namely Neostenopsocus gen. n., which includes a number of species previously placed in Stenopsocus. The checklist of this new genus is provided. This new genus can be distinguished from Stenopsocus by the glabrous forewing CuP. In the revised classification system, Stenopsocidae includes four genera: Graphopsocus, Malostenopsocus, Neostenopsocus gen. n., and Stenopsocus. A key to the genera of Stenopsocidae is provided. We also present the diagnostic characters for each of these genera.

title: Four new species of Entoloma subgen. Cubospora (Entolomataceae, Agaricales) from Yunnan Province, China

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Liu, Ze-Wei, Li, Jing, Yang, Zhu L., Cui, Yang-Yang (2025): Four new species of Entoloma subgen. Cubospora (Entolomataceae, Agaricales) from Yunnan Province, China. MycoKeys 124: 331-356, DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.124.171541AbstractSpecies of Entoloma are exceptionally diverse and widely distributed, with cuboid-spored members occurring mainly in subtropical to tropical regions. These cuboid-spored taxa are primarily classified into two subgenera, E. subg. Cuboeccilia and E. subg. Cubospora. During surveys conducted in Yunnan Province, a representative subtropical region of China, four new species belonging to E. subg. Cubospora were identified through multigene phylogenetic analyses (ITS, LSU, rpb 2, and tef 1) combined with detailed morphological observations. Entoloma acutiflavum is distinguished by its yellow basidiomata, papillate pileus, heterogeneous lamellar edge, and the presence of clamp connections. Entoloma bichromum can be recognized by a centrally papillate pileus, serrate pileal and lamellar margins, and clavate to cylindrical pleurocystidia that are flexuous, furcate, or occasionally ventricose. Entoloma guttuliferum is characterized by its yellowish-white to white papillate pileus, clavate to elongated clavate terminal cells in both the pileipellis and stipitipellis, and pigmented cystidia, lamellar trama, pileipellis, and stipitipellis. Entoloma rufosquamulosum is identified by its reddish-brown to grayish-violet squamose pileus, with reddish-brown pigments present in the upper hyphal layer and terminal cells of the pileipellis. Detailed descriptions, line drawings, habitat photographs, SEM micrographs, and comparisons with morphologically and phylogenetically related taxa are provided. A key to the species of Entoloma subg. Cubospora from China is also included.

Botanica Marina (Warsaw, Poland) 64 (2): 129-138, DOI: 10.1515/bot-2021-0013, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/bot-2021-0013Abstract: Introductions of macroalgae are becoming more common with increased surveillance and the use of molecular tools to unequivocally identify invaders. We here report two non-indigenous macroalgal species newly confirmed to be present in New Zealand. Pachymeniopsis lanceolata is an irregularly divided foliose blade, first detected in Lyttleton Harbour/Whakaraupō, South Island but here also reported from the North Island. It has known introductions from its native range in Pacific Asia to the Mediterranean, Atlantic and the eastern Pacific. The introduced cox 3 haplotype was also found in New Zealand, suggesting a secondary introduction from a previous introduced area, but we also found a novel haplotype in the North Island suggesting a case of multiple introductions. Fushitsunagia catenata, a recent segregate from Lomentaria, was also first detected in Whakaraupō and was initially identified as a species of Champia. Rbc L data shows that it belongs to F. catenata. This species is also of Asian origin and has been known to have been introduced to Spain, Mexico, and Australia. We provide morphological and reproductive descriptions of the species in New Zealand. Continued surveillance, and follow up monitoring, are needed to track the expansion and effects of these macroalgae on native biotas.
