Holo- and paratypes of the root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne mayaguensis Rammah & Hirschmann, 1988 and Meloidogyne enterolobii Yang & Eisenback, 1983 were morphometrically and morphologically compared. All observed female, male and second-stage juvenile morphometrical and morphological characters are identical for the two studied species. Additionally, contradictions between the original species ...

The discovery of non-taxonomical relationships is one of the less studied knowledge acquisition tasks, even though it is a crucial point in ontology learning. We present an automatic and unsupervised methodology for extracting non-taxonomically related concepts and labelling relationships, using the whole Web as learning corpus. We also discuss how the obtained relationships may be automaticall...

The taxonomical recognition of microscopic biological particles such as pollen and spores is relevant for medical and aerobiological applications. Focusing on an accurate and automatic vision-based pollen recognition system, we propose a method for classification of pollen apertures based on bag-of-words strategy, with the ability of learning new types from different taxa without the need of ne...

Fish species of the Zungaro genus (Siluriformes, Pimelodidae) are amongst the largest migratory fish in Latin America and have considerable economic importance for commercial fishing in Brazil. However, natural populations of this large catfish are experiencing a severe decline. There are significant taxonomical inconsistencies for this fish. Two geographically separated species of the fi...

The taxonomical classification among fungi kingdom in the last decades was evolved. In this work the targeted metabolomics study based on 1H NMR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics tools was reported to be useful for differentiation of three model of fungal strains, which represent various genus of Ascomycota (Aspergillus pallidofulvus, Fusarium oxysporum, Geotrichum candidum) were selected...

The jumping organ (furcula) is the most characteristic structure among collembolans, and it is of great taxonomical values at higher levels. The largest superfamily Entomobryoidea is traditionally classified into four families only by the morphology of the furcula. Actually, many taxa among these families are strikingly similar in morphology without considering furcula. The phylogeny of Entomob...

Visualization analysis plays an important role in metagenomics research. Proper and clear visualization can help researchers get their first insights into data and by selecting different features, also revealing and highlighting hidden relationships and drawing conclusions. To prevent the resulting presentations from becoming chaotic, visualization techniques have to properly tackle the high di...

Leaflets of the tricuspid valve are provided by tendinous cords extending from the papillary muscles. The situation is complicated with the septal muscles, which generally occur in two groups, one as constant musculus coni arteriosi and the second as other variable septal muscles. We tested whether there is a variability in the provision of the tricuspid valve in different taxonomical groups of...

in present study, diversity and relative abundance of calcareous nannofossils of the boundary between abtalkh and neyzar formations in dobaradar, kalat and chahchaheh sections were studied. taxonomical studies of calcareous nannofossils in the studied areas led to identification of 24 species in dobaradar, 27 species in kalat and 32 species in chahchaheh sections. based on identified nannofossi...
