Reinvestigation of African Surirella taxa (Bacillariophyta) described by B.J. Cholnoky with some remarks on digitization of diatom types
(Czech Phycological Society, 2017)
Cholnoky described several new Surirella taxa from Africa and we have re-investigated this material. As many other of his contemporary authors, especially in the case of description of new African diatoms, Cholnoky did not ...
Linking morphological and molecular taxonomy for the identifcation of poultry house, soil, and nest dwelling mites in the Western Palearctic
(Nature, 2019)
Because of its ability to expedite specimen identifcation and species delineation, the barcode index
number (BIN) system presents a powerful tool to characterize hyperdiverse invertebrate groups such
as the Acari (mites). ...
A new species of Cheyletus Latreille (Prostigmata: Cheyletidae) from Iran and a key to the Iranian species
(Acarologia, 2018)
A new species, Cheyletus rashtiensis n. sp. (Acariformes: Prostigmata: Cheyletidae) is described on the basis of adult females from Rasht, Guilan Province, Northern Iran. The new species can be distinguished from other ...
Characterisation of some Scutellonema species (Tylenchida: Hoplolaimidae) occurring in Botswana, South Africa, Costa Rica and the USA, with description of S. clavicaudatum sp. n. and a molecular phylogeny of the genus
(Brill, 2017)
The genus Scutellonema contains more than 40 species of spiral nematodes with enlarged phasmids called scutella. In this
study, we provide morphological and molecular characterisation of S. clavicaudatum sp. n., S. ...
Folk taxonomy and indigenous names for frogs in Zululand, South Africa
(BMC, 2019)
Background
We use taxonomy to organize the world into recognizable units. Folk taxonomy deals with the naming and classification of organisms through culture. Unlike its scientific counterpart, folk taxonomy is mostly ...

(Magnolia Press, 2019)
Eleven species including six new species of Gnathiidae (Crustacea, Isopoda, Cymothoida) are reported from the Heron Island and Wistari Reef, Capricorn Group, southern Great Barrier Reef: Elaphognathia queenslandica sp. ...
Lateral hydrological connectivity differentially affects the community characteristics of multiple groups of aquatic invertebrates in tropical wetland pans in South Africa
(Wiley, 2019)
River–floodplain connectivity (i.e. lateral hydrological connectivity, LHC) can directly affect the community characteristics by promoting dispersal of organisms but can also have profound indirect effects by altering local ...
A new genus and species of deep-water marine cirolanid isopod (Crustacea: Isopoda: Cirolanidae) from the Philippines
(NUS, 2019)
Sululana buta new genus, new species is described from deep water in the Sulu Sea, Philippines. The
new genus shows weak affinities to Metacirolana Kussakin, 1979, and no clear affinities to other cirolanid genera.
The ...
The first record of Gnathostenetroididea Kussakin, 1967 from Australian waters with description of four new species of Gnathostenetroides Amar, 1957 (Crustacea: Isopoda: Asellota) from the Great Barrier Reef
(Magnolia Press, 2019)
The asellote family Gnathostenetroididae Kussakin, 1967 is reported for the first time from Australian waters. Four new species of Gnathostenetroides Amar, 1957 from the Great Barrier Reef are described. The genus Maresiella ...

In a survey of nematode damage in groundnut (
Arachis hypogaea
) (Fabaceae) production areas in the Vaalharts Irrigation
Scheme in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, a nematode was recovered and ...
