TL;DR: The level of agreement reached between different data and methodological approaches leads us to believe that careful application of likelihood and Bayesian methods to molecular data provides realistic divergence time estimates in the majority of cases, thus providing a remarkably well-calibrated phylogeny of a character-rich clade of ubiquitous marine benthic invertebrates.

TL;DR: This study tested monophyly and geographical boundaries in five marine intertidal snail species from the central Indo‐West Pacific and sought common geographical patterns of interspecific boundaries and intraspecific phylogenetic breaks in the region.

TL;DR: The Global Genome Biodiversity Network (GGBN) was formed in 2011 with the principal aim of making high-quality well-documented and vouchered collections that store DNA or tissue samples of biodiversity, discoverable for research through a networked community of biodiversity repositories.

TL;DR: The present paper reviews issues relating to the taxonomy of ciliates and presents specific recommendations for best practice in the observation and documentation of their biodiversity.

TL;DR: Using the complete mitochondrial genome and 42 nuclear genes from Priapulus caudatus, it is shown that priapulids are slowly evolving ecdysozoans; almost all these priapULid genes have evolved more slowly than nematode orthologs and the priapilid mitochondrial gene order may be unchanged since the Cambrian.
