• Study of genomics of Ovate Family Proteins , plant-specific, transcriptional repressors characterized by the presence of an OVATE domain.
• Diptilomiopus ligustri mites consists of at least four genetically divergent species (i.e., D. ligustri, D. cf. ligustri sp1., D. cf. ligustri sp2., and D. cf. ligustri sp3.) that do not differ morphologically.
• A large multifunctional family of putative enzymatic and nonenzymatic proteins involved in heme metabolism contains separate groups of proteins from prokaryotes, plants, and algae that bind heme and either catalyze its degradation or function as nonenzymatic heme sensors.
• Species delimitation study of the mountain-dwelling freshwater crab Potamonautes mariepskoppie supports recognition of four clades as distinct species.
• A new species of Caucasian mayfly, Epeorus (Caucasiron) abditus sp. nov. is described, based on larvae collected in Türkiye, Georgia, and Russia.
• A new species of mushroom in the genus Rhodocybe (Fr.) Maire, R. pakistanica sp. nov., from Pakistan.
• A new species of the pill millipede genus Rhopalomeris Verhoeff, 1906 (Diplopoda, Glomerida, Glomeridae) from Myanmar, and notes on Rhopalomeris carnifex (Pocock, 1889).
• Morphology, morphogenesis, and molecular phylogeny of Holostichides ( Holostichides ) parachardezi nov. spec. (Ciliophora, Hypotrichia, Urostylida), a new soil ciliate from China.
• First report of the pathogen Lasiodiplodia theobromae causing dry stem rot in P. ornatus plants in a garden located in Recife, Pernambuco state, Brazil.
• A study focusing on Indian Trigonella species, where plastid sequence data identified three distinct clades.
• A re-examination of flowering plants in Odontadenia shows eight genera and 39 species are recognized in the tribe, with two new subtribes, Cycladeniinae and Odontadeniinae.
• Using ultraconserved elements, the ant genus Dorymyrmex is found to comprise four species groups, the D. flavescens, tener, wolffhuegeli, and pyramicus groups.
• A new species of Helicascus satunensis sp. nov. was collected on mature dead fruits of the Nypa palm in Satun Province, southern Thailand.
• Pseudomegasporoporia margallensis sp. nov. and Microporellus subadustus (Polyporaceae, Basidiomycota) newly described and recorded from Pakistan.
• Bayesian Binary Markov Chain Monte Carlo reconstruction shows that Myricaria Desv. (Tamaricaceae) a genus of riparian plants found in montane regions throughout Eurasia originated in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.
• Chloroplast genome phylogeny resolves the relationship of Portulaca at intra- and interspecies level.
