New and noteworthy lichens and lichenicolous fungi from Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Twelve species of lichens and lichenicolous fungi are reported as new to Fennoscandia. Additionally, we report 19 species as new to Norway. New localites are given for 47 rare or seldom collected species. The new combination ... -
New and Poorly Known Species of Peniagone (Holothuroidea, Elpidiidae) from the Northwest Pacific Ocean with Discussion on Phylogeny of the Genus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The northwest Pacific fauna of Peniagone includes at least seven species. In the present study we considered the following six species: Peniagone dubia and P. mus are re-described, P. minuta and P. saveljevae are described ... -
A new genus of Podonominae (Diptera: Chironomidae) in Late Eocene Rovno amber from Ukraine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-08)The genus Palaeoboreochlus Baranov et Andersen, n. gen. is erected based on P. inornatus Baranov et Andersen, n. sp. described from a male found in Late Eocene Rovno amber. The new genus groups with Boreochlus Edwards in ... -
New insights into the morphology and evolution of the ventral pharynx and jaws in Histriobdellidae (Eunicida, Annelida)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-19)The jaw apparatus in several annelid families represents a powerful tool for systematic approaches and evolutionary investigations. Nevertheless, for several taxa, this character complex has scarcely been investigated, and ... -
A new invasive weed-feeding species of Polypedilum (Pentapedilum) Kieffer from South Africa (Diptera: Chironomidae, Chironominae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-19)Polypedilum (Pentapedilum) tuburcinatum Andersen et Bello González sp. n. is described and figured as male, female, pupa and larva based on material collected in the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa, imported into ... -
New molecular markers resolve the phylogenetic position of the enigmatic wood-boring weevils Platypodinae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The precise phylogenetic position of the weevil subfamily Platypodinae continues to be one of the more contentious issues in weevil systematics. Morphological features of adult beetles and similar ecological adaptations ... -
New observations of the enigmatic West African Cellana limpet (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Nacellidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07-25)Background: Identification of limpets is often hampered by highly variable within-species shell morphologies and colour patterns. Since pre-Linnean times this has produced complex taxonomies with confusing nomenclatorial ... -
A new phylogeny of the Cephalaspidea (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) based on expanded taxon sampling and gene markers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08)The Cephalaspidea is a diverse marine clade of euthyneuran gastropods with many groups still known largely from shells or scant anatomical data. The definition of the group and the relationships between members has been ... -
New species of Ampharetidae (Annelida: Polychaeta) from the Arctic Loki Castle vent field
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03)Ampharetid polychaetes adapted to live in chemosynthetic environments are well known from the deep Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, but to date no such species have been reported from the Arctic Ocean. Here, we describe two ... -
A new species of Fissimentum Cranston & Nolte, 1996 from the state of São Paulo, Brazil (Diptera: Chironomidae, Chironominae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Fissimentum mendesi n. sp. is described and figured on the basis of males collected in light traps in two localities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The new species is apparently closely related to F. desiccatum Cranston ... -
