Phylogeny and revision of the Oriental leafhopper genus Amritodus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Idiocerini)

Xue,, Qingquan; Zhang,, Yalin

2019 Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society

doi:10.1093/zoolinnean/zlz129

Abstract The phylogeny of the Oriental leafhopper genus Amritodus is reconstructed, for the first time, based on 47 discrete morphological characters and DNA sequence data from one nuclear and two mitochondrial genes. The phylogenetic results show that Amritodus is not monophyletic, and its...

A sympatric pair of undescribed white-eye species (Aves: Zosteropidae: Zosterops) with different origins

O’Connell, Darren, P; Kelly, David, J; Lawless,, Naomi; O’Brien,, Katie; Marcaigh, Fionn, Ó; Karya,, Adi; Analuddin,, Kangkuso; Marples, Nicola, M

2019 Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society

How unique is unique? Quantifying geometric differences in stripe patterns of Cape mountain zebra, Equus zebra zebra (Perissodactyla: Equidae)

Prinsloo, Nicolas, D; Postma,, Martin; , de Bruyn, P J Nico

2019 Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society

doi:10.1093/zoolinnean/zlaa036

Abstract Quantified coat pattern dissimilarity provides a visible surface for individual animal traceability to populations. We determined the feasibility in quantifying uniqueness of stripe patterns of Cape mountain zebra (CMZ; Equus zebra zebra) using geometric morphometrics. We...

Repeated evolution of flightlessness in Dryolimnas rails (Aves: Rallidae) after extinction and recolonization on Aldabra

Hume, Julian, P; Martill,, David

2019 Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society

doi:10.1093/zoolinnean/zlz018

Abstract The Aldabra rail, Dryolimnas cuvieri subsp. aldabranus, endemic to the Aldabra Atoll, Seychelles, is the last surviving flightless bird in the Indian Ocean. Aldabra has undergone at least one major, total inundation event during an Upper Pleistocene (Tarantian age) sea-level high-stand,...

A new species of deropristid trematode from the sterlet Acipenser ruthenus (Actinopterygii: Acipenseridae) and revision of superfamily affiliation of the family Deropristidae

Sokolov,, Sergey; Voropaeva,, Ekaterina; Atopkin,, Dmitry

2019 Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society

doi:10.1093/zoolinnean/zlaa015

Abstract A new species, Skrjabinopsolus nudidorsalis sp. nov. is described from the sterlet Acipenser ruthenus, caught in the River Volga basin (Russia). This species differs from previously described congeners by the absence of vitelline follicles on the dorsal side of the body. The complete 18S...
