1200 high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes from the rumen of African cattle and their relevance in the context of sub-optimal feeding by Wilkinson, T., Korir, Daniel, Ogugo, M., Stewart, R.D., Watson, M., Paxton, E., Goopy, John P., Robert, C.

“…A genome-centric investigation into sub-optimal diets highlighted a statistically significant effect on rumen microbial abundance profiles and a previously unobserved relationship between whole microbiome shifts in functional potential and taxon-level associations in metabolic pathways.This study is the first to identify 1200 high-quality African rumen-specific MAGs and provides further insight into the rumen function in harsh environments with food scarcity. …”

Aligning conservation priorities across taxa in Madagascar with high-resolution planning tools by Kremen, C., Cameron, A., Moilanen, A., Phillips, S.J., Thomas, C.D., Beentje, H., Dransfield, J., Fisher, B.L., Glaw, F., Good, T.C., Harper, G.J., Hijmans, R.J., Lees, D.C., Louis, E., Nussbaum, R.A., Raxworthy, C.J., Razafimpahanana, A., Schatz, G.E., Vences, M., Vieites, D.R., Wright, P.C., Zjhra, M.L.

“…We show, in an analysis of wide taxonomic and geographic breadth and high spatial resolution, that multitaxonomic rather than single-taxon approaches are critical for identifying areas likely to promote the persistence of most species. …”

Analysis of threats to South American flora and its implications for conservation by Ramírez Villegas, Julián Armando, Jarvis, Andy, Trouval, Jerry

“…However, it is important to note that for a protected area system to be effective and efficient, the conservation of within-taxon genetic diversity is required. The expansion, monitoring and strengthening of 24 existing protected areas holding up to 70% of South American plant diversity is suggested; as is the revision of seven additional sites where up to 200 species not currently conserved are present. …”

Aspergillus colonization and aflatoxin contamination of maize and sesame kernels in two agro-ecological zones in Senegal by Diedhiou, P.M., Bandyopadhyay, Ranajit, Atehnkeng, J., Ojiambo, P.S.

“…In this study, only three species of Aspergillus section Flavi (A. flavus, A. tamarii and the unnamed taxon SBG) were observed with the frequency of toxigenic strains remaining below 50% in maize from the SG zone compared with 51% of isolates from samples collected in Sedhiou district in SS zone. …”

Distribution and toxigenicity of Aspergillus species isolated from maize kernels from three agroecological zones in Nigeria by Atehnkeng, J., Ojiambo, P., Donner, M., Ikotun, T., Sikora, R.A., Cotty, P.J., Bandyopadhyay, Ranajit

“…Among Aspergillus, A. flavus was the most predominant and L-strains constituted > 90% of the species identified, while the frequency of the unnamed taxon SBG was < 3%. The incidence of atoxigenic strains of A. flavus was higher in all the districts surveyed except in the Ogbomosho and Mokwa districts in DS and SGS zones, respectively, where frequency of toxigenic strains were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that of atoxigenic strains. …”

A diet study of post-breeding Great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) on Gotland by Larsson, Anton

“…The pellets together contained 4363 otoliths which were identified to the lowest possible taxon. To correct for biases caused by eroded otoliths, and complete loss of otoliths, size correction factors (SCF) and numerical correction factors (NCF) were applied. …”

Indirect effects of mammalian herbivores on invertebrates in a river gradient of the Kruger National Park, South Africa by Bell, David

“…Coleopterans, on the other hand, were more abundant and taxon rich in the riparian zone. In addition to this, the riparian zone housed many ant taxa. …”

Is Myotis brandtii a fussy little bat? : habitat selection and impact of forestry on Brandt's bat (Myotis brandtii) by Kammonen, Johanna

“…Humans are expanding their land use with e.g. forestry, agriculture and urbanisation, which can have both positive and negative effects upon biodiversity. One taxon that has shown to be affected by forestry is bats, however, the impacts differ depending on forestry method and their foraging strategy. …”

Restoration of semi-natural grasslands, a success for phytophagous beetles (Curculionidae) by Steiner, Magdalena

“…This study aimed to evaluate if these measures may also work successfully for the conservation of diversity of weevils, a phytophagous beetle family. This is a neglected taxon, when it comes to biodiversity assessments of restored grasslands in Europe, although many of them are grassland associated and red listed. …”

Comparative phylogeography in rainforest trees from Lower Guinea, Africa by Heuertz, M., Duminil, J., Dauby, G., Savolainen, V., Hardy, Olivier J.

“…We sequenced the trnC-ycf6 plastid DNA region using a dual sampling strategy: fourteen taxa with small sample sizes (dataset 1, mean n = 16/taxon), to assess whether a strong general pattern of allele endemism and genetic differentiation emerged; and four taxonomically well-studied species with larger sample sizes (dataset 2, mean n = 109/species) to detect the presence of particular shared phylogeographic patterns. …”
