A phylogenetic and taxonomic assessment of Afrotropical Micracidini (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) reveals a strong diversifying role for Madagascar
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Afrotropical bark beetle genera in the tribe Micracidini are revised and an identification key provided. The new classification is based on phylogenetic analyses of five molecular markers (COI, EF-1α, 28S, PABP1, CAD) in ... -
Phylogenetic conservatism and biogeographic affinity influence woody plant species richness–climate relationships in eastern Eurasia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Mechanisms underlying species richness patterns remain a central yet controversial issue in biology. Climate has been regarded as a major determinant of species richness. However, the relative influences of different ... -
The phylogenetic systematics of Spilomelinae and Pyraustinae (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea: Crambidae) inferred from DNA and morphology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Spilomelinae and Pyraustinae form a species-rich monophylum of Crambidae (snout moths). Morphological distinction of the two groups has been difficult in the past, and the morphologically heterogenous Spilomelinae has not ... -
Phylogenomics of Aplacophora (Mollusca, Aculifera) and a solenogaster without a foot
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Recent molecular phylogenetic investigations strongly supported the placement of the shell-less, worm-shaped aplacophoran molluscs (Solenogastres and Caudofoveata) and chitons (Polyplacophora) in a clade called Aculifera, ... -
Phylogeny and Cryptic Diversity of Diopatra (Onuphidae, Annelida) in the East Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Diopatra Audouin & Milne-Edwards, 1833 is a species rich genus that is common in tropical and subtropical regions. The genus is readily identified by its striking, spiral branchiae, but species identification has historically ... -
The phylogeny of pholcid spiders: a critical evaluation of relationships suggested by molecular data (Araneae, Pholcidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-10)With almost 600 species, the latest molecular phylogeny of pholcid spiders (Eberle et al. 2018, BMC Evolutionary Biology) more than triples the largest previously available molecular phylogeny of the family. At the level ... -
Phylogeny of the orb-weaving spider family Araneidae(Araneae: Araneoidea)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We present a new phylogeny of the spider family Araneidae based on five genes (28S, 18S, COI, H3 and 16S) for 158 taxa, identified and mainly sequenced by us. This includes 25 outgroups and 133 araneid ingroups representing ... -
Phylogeographic structure of two sympatric species of Mediimorda Méquignon, 1946 (Mordellidae, Coleoptera)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Sympatric distribution and syntopy are not common in closely related species since sporadic crosses may lead to the formation of hybrid zones disrupting the differentiation of sympatric incipient species. In Central Spain ... -
Phylogeography of Ramalina farinacea (Lichenized Fungi, Ascomycota) in the Mediterranean Basin, Europe, and Macaronesia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Ramalina farinacea is an epiphytic lichen-forming fungus with a broad geographic distribution, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. In the eighties of the last century, it was hypothesized that R. farinacea had originated ... -
Placoid scales in bioluminescent sharks: Scaling their evolution using morphology and elemental composition
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Elasmobranchs are characterised by the presence of placoid scales on their skin. These scales, structurally homologous to gnathostome teeth, are thought to have various ecological functions related to drag reduction, ... -
A Pleistocene origin of the strandflat coastal platform in southwestern Scandinavia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)An impressively extensive shore platform, the strandflat, is cut 20–50 km into hard crystalline bedrock along most of the Norwegian coastline. Its age and origin have been debated for more than a century, including a model ... -
A pollen analytical study of faeces from wiegon, Anas penelope. A case study
(Working paper, 2018)Pollen analysis of faeces from bird (also mammals (King 1977)) gives important additional information about attractive and nutrient rich pla nt fodder hardly traceable using macro analysis or by field observation (e.g. ... -
Polychaetes from Jan Mayen (Annelida, Polychaeta)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)A thorough literature review has been undertaken to establish the first complete account of polychaetes recorded from the area around the volcanic island of Jan Mayen. The annotated checklist lists 121 species-level taxa, ... -
Post-Tridentine Mass Attendance as Devotion to the Suffering Christ
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Continuing the long tradition of the allegorical interpretation of the Mass, the seventeenth- and eighteenth century ideal of proper mass attendance was devotion to the suffering Christ, inextricably linked to each step ... -
A preboreal elk (Alces alces L., 1758) antler from south-eastern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)In 1895 a shed elk antler was found in a mire on a farm near Fluberg, in Søndre Land municipality in south-eastern Norway. The antler was first radiocarbon dated in 2008 and yielded the age 9,100 ± 50 BP (8,340 – 8,250 ... -
The preservation of ancient DNA in archaeological fish bone
