A taxonomic revision ofCelmisia coriacea(Forst.f.) Hook.f. and its immediate allies (Astereae-Compositae)

Relationships Among Astereae (Compositae) Genera Having X=6

A taxonomic revision of the insect biocontrol fungus Aschersonia aleyrodis, its allies with white stromata and their Hypocrella sexual states.

A revision of a monophyletic group of Hypocrella species and their Aschersonia anamorphs with white effuse stromata is presented. In addition to taxon descriptions, distributions, and nomenclature, a synoptic key and a molecular phylogenetic analysis are also provided. A new holomorph, Hypocrella rhombispora sp. nov., is described. This study presents a revisionary treatment of Aschersonia aley...

Recent Taxonomic Changes for Oregon Ferns and Fern Allies

Readers of Kalmiopsis were recently treated to a synopsis of taxonomic changes affecting flowering plants in Oregon (Chambers, 1992). The present article has been written to update readers on nomenclatural changes recently proposed for the seedless vascular plants, which include not only ferns, but also horsetails, club-mosses, and their relatives. Together these groups are often referred to as...

Quantum discord and its allies: a review

We review concepts and methods associated with quantum discord and related topics. We also describe their possible connections with other aspects of quantum information and beyond, including quantum communication, quantum computation, many-body physics, and open quantum dynamics. Quantum discord in the multiparty regime and its applications are also discussed.
