With every molecular review involving Stål, 1875 sensu lato samples from Fiji and New Caledonia revealing polyphyly, the morphology from these two distinct clades was extensively reviewed. Morphological results agree with all previously published molecular studies and therefore is erected to accommodate the former sensu lato species restricted to New Caledonia, leaving the type species (Blanchard, 1853) and all other Fijian species within sensu stricto. Erection of this new genus for the New Caledonian species warrants the following new combinations: (Sharp, 1898), , (Redtenbachher, 1906), , and (Größer, 2008a), Morphological details of the female, male, freshly hatched nymph, and egg are illustrated and discussed alongside the sensu stricto in order to differentiate these two clades which have been mistaken as one for decades.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the phylogenetic relationships between two related genera within the Sapotaceae family, which includes economically important species like the miracle berry.
- The research utilizes nuclear and chloroplast DNA data, applying Bayesian analyses and Maximum likelihood methods to build phylogenetic trees that reveal six clades.
- Findings indicate that the two genera are closely related and question the validity of their current classification, as one genus appears to be polyphyletic, highlighting the need for a reevaluation of all species in these genera.
Phylogenomic insights into the taxonomy, ecology, and mating systems of the lorchel family Discinaceae (Pezizales, Ascomycota).

Lorchels, also known as false morels (Gyromitra sensu lato), are iconic due to their brain-shaped mushrooms and production of gyromitrin, a deadly mycotoxin. Molecular phylogenetic studies have hitherto failed to resolve deep-branching relationships in the lorchel family, Discinaceae, hampering our ability to settle longstanding taxonomic debates and to reconstruct the evolution of toxin production. We generated 75 draft genomes from cultures and ascomata (some collected as early as 1960), conducted phylogenomic analyses using 1542 single-copy orthologs to infer the early evolutionary history of lorchels, and identified genomic signatures of trophic mode and mating-type loci to better understand lorchel ecology and reproductive biology.

Cystic and alveolar echinococcosis are severe zoonotic diseases characterized by long asymptomatic periods lasting months or years. Viable Echinococcus spp. eggs released into the environment through the feces of canids can infect humans through accidental ingestion via hand-to-mouth contact or consumption of contaminated food or water.

Introduction: Lyme borreliosis (LB), an infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl), is the most common tick-borne disease in Europe. To further characterize the LB burden in the Czech Republic, we conducted a seroprevalence study and estimated the incidence of symptomatic Bbsl infections.
Methods: Anti-Bbsl IgM and IgG antibodies were detected in sera collected from the adult population in 2011 -2012 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoblot tests at the National Reference Laboratory.
Patterns of Genetic and Morphological Variability of (Lamiaceae) on the Balkan Peninsula.

Institute of Botany and Botanical Garden, Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, Takovska 43, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia.
Article Synopsis
- The Balkan Peninsula is a key area for studying plant diversity due to its ecological variety and the complexities of species taxonomies.
- A study of 57 populations using genetic and morphological methods revealed two main genetic clusters, with one cluster localized in the northwestern Dinarides and the other spread across the rest of the region.
- Genetic and morphological differences were more prominent in peripheral populations, while they diminished in regions where the clusters met, indicating a link between genetic structure and the area's geological and reproductive characteristics.
