چکیده

Specimens belonging to the Cymbellaaffinis / Cymbellatumidula / Cymbellaturgidula species complex have many taxonomic problems, due to their high morphological variability and lack of type designations. Fifteen taxon names of this complex, distributed in five species, were re-evaluated concerning their taxonomic status, and lectotypified based on original material. In addition to light microscopy, some material was analyzed by electron microscopy. Four new combinations are proposed in order to reposition infraspecific taxa.

Three new species of Cymbella ( Bacillariophyta ) from high altitude lakes , China

This paper describes three new Cymbella species from high altitude lakes of Hengduan Mountains region, southwest China. Cymbella heihainensis Li et Gong nov. spec. is similar to C. modicepunctata Krammer, C. asiatica Metzeltin, Lange-Bertalot et Li, Y., but differs from them in valve size, stigmata, raphe ending and also striae number. Cymbella shudunensis Li et Metzeltin nov. spec. is related ...

Quantitative shape analysis as a diagnostic and prescriptive tool in determining Fragilariforma (Bacillariophyta) taxon status

For 120 specimens and fi gures of Fragilariforma, 10 Legendre coeffi cients were calculated as shape descriptors. For each half valve apically bisected, 50 x,y coordinates were used to calculate Legendre coeffi cients. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to ordinate the shape descriptors as a total shape gradient of valve forms. The fi rst four principal components explained 90.3 % of ...

Hidden diversity in the Podarcis tauricus (Sauria, Lacertidae) species subgroup in the light of multilocus phylogeny and species delimitation.

The monophyletic species subgroup of Podarcis tauricus is distributed in the western and southern parts of the Balkans, and includes four species with unresolved and unstudied inter- and intra-specific phylogenetic relationships. Using sequence data from two mitochondrial and three nuclear genes and applying several phylogenetic methods and species delimitation approaches to an extensive datase...
