Publications February 27 - March 6 2025

CIPRES Supported the following publications

• The nematode genus Labronema is not monophyletic, and includes at least three distinct species groups.
• Study of the brine shrimp Artemia mitogenomic characteristics, maternal phylogenetic tree, and especially divergence time prove that A. monica and A. franciscana are two biological species
• Morpho-phylogenetic evidence provides the first freshwater record of fungus Trichoderma protrudens.
• Genomes of twelve Chenopodium species show dramatic differences in genome sizes and in their number of unique gene families. Expansion of repetitive DNA sequences and structural changes in the DNA drive speciation.
• Emergence of two species of forked tail trematodes from infected snails showed distinct daily emergence rhythms influenced by light intensity likely related to the behavior the next (fish) host in the life cycle.
• Multi-locus phylogeny identifies four new species of fungi in Guangdong Province, China, including Nigrosynnema guangdongense gen. et sp. nov., Brevistachys wurfbainiae and Sirastachys guangdongensis.
• Plastome analysis shows Coelogyne s.l. is monophyletic and supports the existence of five clades.
• Two new species of fungus Lijiangomyces laojunensis gen. et sp. nov. (Mytilinidiaceae), and a new lichenicolous species Sclerococcum stictae (Dactylosporaceae) from Yunnan, China
• A new species of frog, Amolops spicalinea sp. nov (Amphibia: Ranidae) from Hoang Lien Range, northwest Vietnam.
• Two new species of Lobarioid lichens; Sticta flakusiorum, a species in the S. humboldtii morphodeme. and S. kukwae Ossowska in the S. weigelii morphodeme.
• A new fungal species: Melanocucurbitaria uktampratovii sp. nov. and the sexual morph of Melanocamarosporioides ugamica in Melanommataceae (Dothideomycetes, Pleosporales).
• Molecular phylogeny reveals ">three new water mite species of the genus Teutonia Koenike, 1889, from Portugal (Acari, Hydrachnidia, Teutoniidae)
• Two new species of leech: Placobdella unimaculata n. sp. from Connecticut and Placobdella desseri n. sp. from Ontario, Canada.
• Three new genera, two new species, and six proposed combinations in the fungal genus Chaetosphaeriaceae.
• Plastid Data Support the Inclusion of the Greater Antillean Genus Atalopteris in Ctenitis (Polypodiales: Dryopteridaceae
• A new cap mushroom species, Lactarius swaticus is described from the Swat District, Pakistan.
• First report of the fungi Neopestalotiopsis arecacearum, Neocosmospora bostrycoides, Nectria pseudotrichia and Cytospora viridistroma causing avocado dieback in Brazil and worldwide.
• Annotated Bioinformatic Pipelines for Genome Assembly and Annotation of Mitochondrial Genomes
• A new species of succulent, Sinocrassula holotricha, using crassulacean acid metabolism, is described from Sichuan Province, Southwest China.
• Four new species of fungi from China, in genera Cryptothecia and Myriostigma (C. disjecta, C. sorediatum, M. melanovillosa and M. visus-blotch).
• DNA Barcoding of marine reef fishes suggests parapatric speciation in the Tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean.
• The first comprehensive study of the pathogenic micro-fungi reveals high diversity of microfungi associated with sweet cherry trunk diseases in China. https://www.mycosphere.org/pdf/MYCOSPHERE_16_1_3.pdf 
• Study provides three new host–pathogen records of fungi associated with blueberry stem blight.
