Understanding recent speciation history requires merging phylogenetic and population genetics approaches, taking into account the persistence of ancestral polymorphism and possible introgression. The emergence of a clear phylogeny of hares (genus Lepus) has been hampered by poor genomic sampling and possible occurrence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) introgression from the arctic/boreal Lepus timi...

Molecular phylogeny of the species Escherichia coli using the E. coli reference (ECOR) collection strains has been hampered by (1) the absence of rooting in the commonly used phenogram obtained from multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) data and (2) the existence of recombination events between strains that scramble phylogenetic trees reconstructed from the nucleotide sequences of genes. We ...

The beach vitex (Vitex rotundifolia L.), a member of the Lamiaceae family, is salt-tolerant, woody perennial common in coastal areas worldwide. Plant–fungal association was monitored shoreline forest area Wando Island Korea 2020, and leaf samples showing spot disease were collected. Eight fungal isolates recovered from on PDA identified based morphological characteristics multilocus molecular p...

Hypoxylon, a large, cosmopolitan genus of Ascomycota is in the focus our current poly-thetic taxonomic studies, and served as an excellent source for bioactive secondary metabolites at same time. The present work concerns survey Hypoxylon fuscum species complex based on specimens from Iran Europe by morphological studies high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry diode ...

Mycoplasma anserisalpingitidis infection is associated with the inflammation of genital tract and cloaca, embryo lethality, decreased egg production in geese, leading to serious economic losses. M. has been detected mainly Central Eastern Europe, especially Hungary, but pathogen was identified recently China, predicting it’s worldwide occurrence. In this study, a novel multilocus sequence typin...
