Diversity and systematics of philinid snails (Gastropoda: Cephalaspidea) in West Africa with remarks on the biogeography of the region
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)West Africa is often considered one of the least studied regions of the world concerning marine biodiversity. Knowledge about the philinid snails of the region has largely been based on shells, but shells can be insufficient ... -
When molecules support morphology: Phylogenetic reconstruction of the family Onuphidae (Eunicida, Annelida) based on 16S rDNA and 18S rDNA
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01)Onuphid polychaetes are tubicolous marine worms commonly reported worldwide from intertidal areas to hadal depths. They often dominate in benthic communities and have economic importance in aquaculture and recreational ... -
Globally distributed Xyleborus species reveal recurrent intercontinental dispersal in a landscape of ancient worldwide distributions Phylogenetics and phylogeography
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02-15)Background: Invasive species can have devastating effects on native ecosystems and therefore impose a significant threat to human welfare. The introduction rate of invasive species has accelerated dramatically in recent ... -
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 ... -
High genetic diversity of common toad (Bufo bufo) populations under strong natural fragmentation on a Northern archipelago
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03)The last decades have shown a surge in studies focusing on the interplay between fragmented habitats, genetic variation, and conservation. In the present study, we consider the case of a temperate pond-breeding anuran (the ... -
The mediterranean sea as a gateway for invasion of the red sea: The case of the indo-west pacific head-shield slug chelidonura fulvipunctata baba, 1938
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-04-07)The number of tropical species established in the Mediterranean Sea has risen at an unprecedented rate in the last 40–50 years, often entering the basin from the Red Sea and to a lesser extent by shipping or mariculture. ... -
Blind flight? A new troglobiotic orthoclad (Diptera, Chironomidae) from the Lukina Jama - Trojama Cave in Croatia

Ecosystem alterations and species range shifts: An Atlantic-Mediterranean cephalaspidean gastropod in an inland Egyptian lake
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-06)The eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean marine Cephalaspidea gastropod Haminoea orbignyana was collected from Lake Qarun (Fayoum, Egypt), a landlocked lake that has undergone a shift from freshwater to estuarine conditions ... -
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 ... -
The black-legged kittiwake preen gland—an overlooked organ for depuration of fat-soluble contaminants?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08-18)Most birds preen their feathers with an oily excrete from the uropygial (preen) gland. This oily excrete contains persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which make the preen gland a potential route of depuration of POPs in ... -
Genomic mining of phylogenetically informative nuclear markers in bark and ambrosia beetles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-09-26)Deep level insect relationships are generally difficult to resolve, especially within taxa of the most diverse and species rich holometabolous orders. In beetles, the major diversity occurs in the Phytophaga, including ... -
Hybridization between the locally endangered Rosa spinosissima and Rosa mollis results in the pentaploid Rosa × sabinii in Western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-12)Rosa spinosissima is an endangered species in Norway, found only within a limited area on the southwestern coast. Presumed hybrid forms between R. spinosissima and rose species within R. sect. Caninae have been recorded ... -
