Abstract The new species Thyronectria ulmi is described from Ulmus laevis and U. minor collected in Austria, the Czech Republic Slovakia. It morphologically phylogenetically close to North American T. chrysogramma , which also occurs on shares olive green brown muriform ascospores, but differs latter by geographic distribution, narrower asci, smaller ascospores with fewer septa DNA sequence dat...

The hair microstructures of Korean terrestrial mammals from 23 species (22 wild and one domestic) were analyzed using light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to construct a hair identification key. The hairs were examined using the medulla structures and cuticular scales of guard hairs from the dorsal regions of mature adult animals. All cuticular scale structures in the hair of Rodentia, ...

The bivalve Macoma balthica (L.) is a key species of intertidal mudflats in 18 France and Europe. Its natural range has experienced a contraction along the European 19 coastline towards the northeast during the past five decades. This southern boundary 20 shift seems to be correlated with the increased sea surface temperature in the Bay of 21 Biscay (France), a major glacial refugium during the...

A new species of medium-sized Sphenomorphus is described from the biogeographically enigmatic island of Palawan in the western Philippines. This species represents only the third skink in the genus Sphenomorphus found on Palawan Island. The new species is compared with other Sphenomorphus found on Palawan and with phenotypically similar species in the genus from throughout its range. To aid in ...

Teratolytta krejcikisp. n. from Munzur range (E Turkey) and a female belonging to a possible new species from the eastern Pontus range (N Turkey) are described and figured. New records of Teratolytta gentilis from southern Turkey are also provided. Difficulties to recognize females of this genus are discussed and a tentative key to the females of all species is proposed with the addition of a p...
