DOI: 10.1016/j.protis.2020.125759
Abstract: In the current circumscription, the Thoracosphaeraceae comprise all dinophytes exhibiting calcified coccoid cells produced during their life-history. Species hitherto assigned to Ensiculifera and Pentapharsodinium are mostly based on the monadoid stage of life-history, while the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2018.06.009
Abstract: The relationship between morphology and inheritance is of perennial interest in evolutionary biology and palaeontology. Using three marine snail genera Penion, Antarctoneptunea and Kelletia, we investigate whether systematics based on shell morphology accurately reflect evolutionary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/botlinnean/boaf076
Abstract: The Neotropics are well known for their exceptionally rich biodiversity, likely linked to the dynamic geological and climatic history of the region. The origin of such high diversity is best explored through comprehensive species-level phylogenies… read more here.
