The World Amphipoda Database: History and Progress
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We provide an overview of the World Amphipoda Database (WAD), a global speciesdatabase that is part of the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). Launched in 2013, the databasecontains entries for over 10,500 accepted ... -
Brittle basement deformation during the Caledonian Orogeny observed by K-Ar geochronology of illite-bearing fault gouge in west-central Sweden
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This study presents K-Ar ages of illite-bearing fault gouges in crystalline basement in central-western Sweden. Samples were taken from two faults that localized brittle deformation marginal to and within mafic dikes that ... -
A New Stenothoid (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Stenothoidae) from a Shallow Water Hydroid Polyp in British Columbia, Canada
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)A new stenothoid species is described from a hydroid polyp in British Columbia, Canada. The new species is provisionally assigned to Metopa as M. insolita sp. nov., pending revision of this genus. -
New species and records of Pseudochironomini Sæther, 1977 (Diptera, Chironomidae) from the Dominican Republic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Pseudochironomini is a relatively small and poorly-studied tribe of subfamily Chironominae (Diptera, Chironomidae). New information: Pseudochironomus ruthae Andersen & Baranov sp. nov. is described and ... -
Seasonal variation in urban pollen resource use by north temperate European honeybees
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Urban green infrastructure can provide important habitats for pollinators and support urban ecosystem services. Therefore, these areas must be managed to maximize biodiversity and density of pollinating insects. We used ... -
Erica L. (Ericaceae): homonyms amongst published names for African species and proposed replacement names
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In support of ongoing taxonomic work on the large and complex flowering plant genus Erica (Ericaceae), we document nineteen pairs of homonyms representing currently used illegitimate names. We provide replacements for ... -
A multiproxy approach to understanding the impact of the Storegga tsunami upon Mesolithic hunter-fisher-gatherers across different regions of western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The Storegga tsunami (c. 8150 cal BP) is geologically well attested from various isolation basins across the west Norwegian coast. Ascertaining the impact it had upon the Mesolithic peoples who lived through it, however, ... -
Molecular phylogeny of the marine snail genus Haminoea (Gastropoda, Cephalaspidea): A framework to study marine diversity and speciation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Haminoea are herbivorous, coastal snails occurring in temperate and tropical waters of the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific oceans, with one species present in temperate South Africa (Indian Ocean). The genus is taxonomically ... -
Glostatina, a new xyloctonine subtribe for Glostatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), based on clear genetic and morphological differences
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)An integrated taxonomic revision of the Afrotropical Glostatus Schedl, 1939 is presented, which is based on multiple genetic markers and morphological characters. Both types of data clearly distinguish Glostatus from other ... -
Multiple paths toward repeated phenotypic evolution in the spiny-leg adaptive radiation (Tetragnatha; Hawai'i)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The repeated evolution of phenotypes provides clear evidence for the role of natural selection in driving evolutionary change. However, the evolutionary origin of repeated phenotypes can be difficult to disentangle as it ... -
Mitochondrial Genome Evolution in Annelida—A Systematic Study on Conservative and Variable Gene Orders and the Factors Influencing its Evolution
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The mitochondrial genomes of Bilateria are relatively conserved in their protein-coding, rRNA, and tRNA gene complement, but the order of these genes can range from very conserved to very variable depending on the taxon. ... -
Complex sublinear burrows in the deep sea may be constructed by amphipods
