TL;DR: The phylogeny of all major insect lineages reveals how and when insects diversified and provides a comprehensive reliable scaffold for future comparative analyses of evolutionary innovations among insects.
Abstract: Insects are the most speciose group of animals, but the phylogenetic relationships of many major lineages remain unresolved. We inferred the phylogeny of insects from 1478 protein-coding genes. Phylogenomic analyses of nucleotide and amino acid sequences, with site-specific nucleotide or domain-specific amino acid substitution models, produced statistically robust and congruent results resolving previously controversial phylogenetic relations hips. We dated the origin of insects to the Early Ordovician [~479 million years ago (Ma)], of insect flight to the Early Devonian (~406 Ma), of major extant lineages to the Mississippian (~345 Ma), and the major diversification of holometabolous insects to the Early Cretaceous. Our phylogenomic study provides a comprehensive reliable scaffold for future comparative analyses of evolutionary innovations among insects.

TL;DR: The current revival of morphology is heralded by a flourish of studies in functional anatomy with the general result being a renewed focus of interest in the problem of organic form.
Abstract: The current revival of morphology is heralded by a flourish of studies in functional anatomy with the general result being a renewed focus of interest in the problem of organic form. Recent morphological studies are characterized by considerations of the functional properties of structure and of the interrelationships between the structure and the environment of the organism although the traditional considerations of pure morphological description and of the phylogenetic change of morphological form are not ignored. These studies have established a broader base for morphological inquiry and have permitted a far better understanding, albeit largely theoretical, of all factors influencing the observable shape of morphological features. It may be possible, in the near future, to partition these factors and to determine the influence of function, of surrounding structures, of phylogeny, and so forth in the molding of anatomical features. The importance of functional anatomy in the recent upsurge of morphological studies is eclipsed by its basic contribution to a deeper appreciation of biological adapta-

TL;DR: The results reveal that the extant sawfly diversity is largely the result of a previously unrecognized major radiation of phytophagous Hymenoptera that did not lead to wood-dwelling and parasitoidism.

TL;DR: The first-ever worldwide checklist for liverworts and hornworts is presented that includes 7486 species in 398 genera representing 92 families from the two phyla, providing a valuable tool for taxonomists and systematists, analyzing phytogeographic and diversity patterns, aiding in the assessment of floristic and taxonomic knowledge, and identifying geographical gaps.
Abstract: A working checklist of accepted taxa worldwide is vital in achieving the goal of developing an online flora of all known plants by 2020 as part of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation. We here present the first-ever worldwide checklist for liverworts (Marchantiophyta) and hornworts (Anthocerotophyta) that includes 7486 species in 398 genera representing 92 families from the two phyla. The checklist has far reaching implications and applications, including providing a valuable tool for taxonomists and systematists, analyzing phytogeographic and diversity patterns, aiding in the assessment of floristic and taxonomic knowledge, and identifying geographical gaps in our understanding of the global liverwort and hornwort flora. The checklist is derived from a working data set centralizing nomenclature, taxonomy and geography on a global scale. Prior to this effort a lack of centralization has been a major impediment for the study and analysis of species richness, conservation and systematic research at both regional and global scales. The success of this checklist, initiated in 2008, has been underpinned by its community approach involving taxonomic specialists working towards a consensus on taxonomy, nomenclature and distribution.

TL;DR: A novel high fidelity primer pair for TEF1α has potential as a supplementary DNA barcode with superior resolution to ITS, while TOPI and LNS2 are attractive for the Pucciniomycotina, for which universal primers for ribosomal subunits often fail.
Abstract: Primer development and testing by partners in the
European Consortium of Microbial Resource Centres (EMbaRC) was supported
through funding of the European Community’s Seventh Framework
Programme (FP7, 2007–2013), Research Infrastructures action, under grant
agreement no. FP7-228310. Part of sequencing work in CBS was supported
by Fonds Economische Structuurversterking (FES), Dutch Ministry of Education,
Culture and Science grant BEK/BPR-2009/137964-U). WM and VR
were supported by research grant NH&MRC #APP1031952. Genome mining
at CBS and AAFC, and primer development and testing at AAFC, were supported
by grants from the A.P. Sloan Foundation Programme on the Microbiology
of the Built Environment. We acknowledge the Deanship of Scientific
Research (DSR), King Abdulaziz University, under grant No. 1-965/1434 HiCi
for technical and financial support. AY was supported by Fundacao para a
Ciencia e a Tecnologia (Portugal), project PTDC/BIA-BIC/4585/2012. MPM
was supported by grant CGL2012-359 (Spain).
