Zhang et al. show that #plastome and nrDNA are effective super-#barcodes for spp. discrimination in Chimonocalamus and, with Skmer analysis for molecular identification, help ID cryptic new #species.

This characterization of a new Late Permian species of Curvicubitidae by Xu et al. features an analysis of wing eyespots and bands, suggesting #predator mimicry, a novel #defense strategy in Permian #insects!
Trichosporeae is the most #species-rich, systemically complex, and #morphologically diverse tribe in the Old World Gesneriaceae. Liu et al. report 5 new genera based on molecular #phylogenetic and #morphological evidence.

So you think you know your ctenophores?
Think again!
Bezio et al. describe a new family of benthic ctenophores, based on #morphological and #genetic data. Read their findings in a new #OpenAccess paper in #JSE!
