Uncovering cryptic diversity in Aspidomorphus (Serpentes: Elapidae): Evidence from mitochondrial and nuclear markers
TL;DR: The evolutionary relationships of the venomous snake genus Aspidomorphus (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae), a Papuan endemic, is examined, and extensive cryptic lineage diversification is documented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A reassessment of the Ceratozamia miqueliana species complex (Zamiaceae) of southeastern Mexico, with comments on species relationships.
Miguel A. Perez‐Farrera,Andrew P. Vovides,Rubén Martínez-Camilo,Nayely Martínez Meléndez,Carlos Iglesias +4 more
TL;DR: The Ceratozamia miqueliana species complex has been revised from a morphological, anatomical and biogeographical perspective and the new species which is related to C. zoquorum, but differs from these in leaf, male and female cone growth habit, as well as inter‐leaflet distance.

Is heterostyly rare on oceanic islands
Kenta Watanabe,Takashi Sugawara +1 more
TL;DR: This work reviews the reproductive studies of heterostyly on oceanic islands and concludes that further investigation of reproductive systems of the heterostylous genus Psychotria on Oceanic islands would provide new insights on plant reproduction on oceaning islands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sociodemographic differences in the cultural significance of edible and toxic mushrooms among Tsotsil towns in the Highlands of Chiapas, Mexico.
TL;DR: The Tsotsil region of the Highlands of Chiapas is where the most average mushroom species are recognized state-wide, and schooling and occupation seem most determinant for people to know more or less species of mushrooms, while gender appears irrelevant.

Patterns in species richness and distribution of vascular epiphytes in Chiapas, Mexico
TL;DR: Assessment of regional patterns in the distribution and species richness of vascular epiphytes with an emphasis on forests that differ in altitude and the amount of rainfall in Chiapas confirmed the presumed presence of a belt of high diversity at mid-elevations in neotropical mountains.
