Changing taxonomic concepts and their impact on nomenclatural stability.
Experimental techniques, which are routinely applied in yeast systematics, are currently finding recognition in a growing number of filamentous taxa. Some other biochemical markers have recently been developed in hyphomycete taxonomy. The spectrum of potential criteria now comprises characters of coenzyme-Q systems, secondary metabolites, protein electrophoresis, serology, nuclear (n) DNA/DNA r...
متن کاملPost-Disturbance Stability of Fish Assemblages Measured at Coarse Taxonomic Resolution Masks Change at Finer Scales
Quantifying changes to coral reef fish assemblages in the wake of cyclonic disturbances is challenging due to spatial variability of damage inherent in such events. Often, fish abundance appears stable at one spatial scale (e.g. reef-wide), but exhibits substantial change at finer scales (e.g. site-specific decline or increase). Taxonomic resolution also plays a role; overall stability at coars...

متن کاملAnalyses of the Stability and Core Taxonomic Memberships of the Human Microbiome
Analyses of the taxonomic diversity associated with the human microbiome continue to be an area of great importance. The study of the nature and extent of the commonly shared taxa ("core"), versus those less prevalent, establishes a baseline for comparing healthy and diseased groups by quantifying the variation among people, across body habitats and over time. The National Institutes of Health ...
متن کاملStability of operational taxonomic units: an important but neglected property for analyzing microbial diversity
BACKGROUND The operational taxonomic unit (OTU) is widely used in microbial ecology. Reproducibility in microbial ecology research depends on the reliability of OTU-based 16S ribosomal subunit RNA (rRNA) analyses. RESULTS Here, we report that many hierarchical and greedy clustering methods produce unstable OTUs, with membership that depends on the number of sequences clustered. If OTUs are re...
