Background and Aims.The presence of novel structures in orchid flowers, including auricles, rostellum and bursicles on the gynostemium and a lobed labellum, has prompted long-standing homology disputes, fuelled by conflicting evidence from a wide range of sources.Re-assessment of this debate using an improved model is timely, following recent phylo
Sources, enumerations and inactivation mechanisms of four emerging viruses in aqueous phase
Emergence and re-emergence of four types of severely infectious viruses have claimed significant numbers of lives when anthropogenic activities contribute to the mutagenesis of these pathogens and infectivity of these pathogens has been noticeably altered.However, both point and non-point sources can transport these viruses in water treatment and r
Tech talk: Development of a conceptual framework to enhance sport students’ communication skills and content learning through vlogs as an assessment tool
The 4th Industrial Revolution fuelled technological and communication disruptions within Change Mat professional work sectors.The technology-enhanced sports industry necessitates graduates to disseminate knowledge utilising various technological platforms.In this regard, higher education institutions need to develop students’ technology-enhanced
Phylogeny and Integrative Taxonomy of the Genera Gymnaetoides and Pseudotachycines (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae)
The genera Gymnaetoides and Pseudotachycines are endemic to China and are morphologically homogeneous.The few available diagnostic characters make species identification particularly challenging.Species cannot be classified according to the given generic diagnosis, and phylogenetic analyses have not been reported.Here, we reconstruct the phylogeny
