Böhme, W., Bogdanowicz, W., Bockmann, F. A., Boano, G., Blick, T., Birindelli, J., …Dubois, A. (2016). Photography-based taxonomy is inadequate, unnecessary, and potentially harmful for biological sciences. Zootaxa, 4196(3), 435-445. https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.4196.3.9

The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa (Dubois &...

Opposing patterns of seasonal change in functional and phylogenetic diversity of tadpole assemblages (2016)
Journal Article
Strauß, A., Guilhaumon, F., Randrianiaina, R. D., Wollenberg Valero, K. C., Vences, M., & Glos, J. (2016). Opposing patterns of seasonal change in functional and phylogenetic diversity of tadpole assemblages. PLoS ONE, 11(3), Article e0151744. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0151744

Assemblages that are exposed to recurring temporal environmental changes can show changes in their ecological properties. These can be expressed by differences in diversity and assembly rules. Both can be identified using two measures of diversity: f... Read More about Opposing patterns of seasonal change in functional and phylogenetic diversity of tadpole assemblages.
