DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8504
Abstract: Abstract Ulva prolifera green tides, one of the greatest marine ecological disasters, originate in the southern Yellow Sea of China and obtain the highest biomass in Haizhou Bay (latitude around 35° N) during northward drift.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21750
Abstract: Accurate identification of waterfowl bones in archaeological and fossil assemblages has potential to unlock new methods of past environmental reconstruction, as species have differing habitat preferences and migration patterns. Therefore, identifying the presence of avian… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpara.2017.07.009
Abstract: Intra-species morphological variation presents a considerable problem for species identification and can result in taxonomic confusion. This is particularly pertinent for species of Neobenedenia which are harmful agents in captive fish populations and have historically… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jplph.2018.10.005
Abstract: Organisms from all domains of life can have highly variable morphologies, with this plasticity suggested to increase fitness and survivability under stressful conditions. Predicting how organisms will adapt to environmental change requires an understanding of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2019.02.017
Abstract: Understanding how species' traits can shape winners and losers of environmental change can help resolve drivers of current community composition patterns and predict future drivers. Sedimentation is one of the main environmental stressors shaping coastal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-33302-4
Abstract: The Early Triassic Chaohu Fauna from Anhui Province, China, contains the oldest record of Mesozoic marine reptiles, such as Cartorhynchus and Sclerocormus. Most specimens from the fauna belong to the ichthyosauriform Chaohusaurus, more specifically resembling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blaf097
Abstract: The hemiparasitic mistletoe Phoradendron berteroanum (DC.) Griseb. in the Galápagos shows remarkable morphological variation suggesting either clinal or abrupt geographical variation. Eight vegetative and floral traits were measured from 68 herbarium specimens to assess patterns… read more here.

Widespread coexistence of genetically distinct morphotypes in the Satyrium longicauda complex (Orchidaceae)

DOI: 10.1093/botlinnean/boac078
Abstract: Species-level taxonomy is traditionally based on herbarium collections that typically include few, or even single, representatives per site. This can lead to underestimation of diversity when there are sympatric populations of superficially similar plants belonging… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/are.14743
Abstract: Morphological traits measurement still plays a key role in description, identification, classification and phylogenetics of species. However, the traditional morphological measurement method is inefficient and often destructive to the studied organism. In this study, we… read more here.
