TL;DR: The polytomy between Gastrocotylinea, Discocoty linea and MicrocotylineA is partially resolved in this study for the first time: the Gastrocodlinea are the sister-group of an unresolved group including the MicrocotYlinea and Plectanocotylidae.

Redescription of Bicotyle reticulata (Monogenea: Heteraxinidae) from Pampus punctatissimus (Scombriformes: Stromateidae) in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan
Yusuke Kamio,Kanna Yamamoto,Masato Nitta +2 more
TL;DR: Bicotyle reticulata, a monogenean parasite, is redescribed from Pampus punctatissimus in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan, with diagnostic characters and phylogenetic analysis confirming its monophyletic group with Heteraxinidae.

01 Feb 2022
TL;DR: A revision of Plectanocotyle with molecular barcoding of three species and the description of a new species from the streaked gurnard Chelidonichthys lastoviza off Algeria is presented in this article .
The Use and Implications of Ribosomal DNA Sequencing for the Discrimination of Digenean Species
Matthew J. Nolan,Thomas H. Cribb +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that consistent genetic differences that are associated with consistent morphological or biological traits should be considered the marker for separate species and proposed a generalised approach to the use of rDNA to distinguish trematode species.
Spicy food for the egg-cowries: the evolution of corallivory in the Ovulidae (Gastropoda: Cypraeoidea)
Elisa Nocella,Sofya Sergeevna Zvonareva,Giulia Fassio,Daniela Pica,Barbara Buge,Raimondo Villa,Nicolas Puillandre,Maria Vittoria Modica,Marco Oliverio +8 more
TL;DR: The phylogenetic hypothesis revealed the existence of groups that do not completely correspond to the currently employed subfamilial arrangement of the Ovulidae, and suggest that some ovulid lineages shifted independently between octocorals and hexacorals.
Morphological and molecular analyses Protolamellodiscus senilobatus (Monogenea: Diplectanidae), a gill parasite infecting the soldier bream Argyrops filamentosus (Sparidae)
TL;DR: In this article , the first description of a diplectanid species from the gills of the soldier bream fish, morphologically by light as well as by molecular analysis of the parasite partial 28S rRNA sequences through multiple alignments and phylogeny by maximum likelihood (ML) analysis was provided for the first time for the described parasite species.

Clustal w: improving the sensitivity of progressive multiple sequence alignment through sequence weighting, position-specific gap penalties and weight matrix choice
TL;DR: The sensitivity of the commonly used progressive multiple sequence alignment method has been greatly improved and modifications are incorporated into a new program, CLUSTAL W, which is freely available.
The neighbor-joining method: a new method for reconstructing phylogenetic trees.
Naruya Saitou,Masatoshi Nei +1 more
TL;DR: The neighbor-joining method and Sattath and Tversky's method are shown to be generally better than the other methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from evolutionary distance data.
Confidence limits on phylogenies: an approach using the bootstrap.
TL;DR: The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.

Dating of the human-ape splitting by a molecular clock of mitochondrial DNA.
TL;DR: A new statistical method for estimating divergence dates of species from DNA sequence data by a molecular clock approach is developed, and this dating may pose a problem for the widely believed hypothesis that the bipedal creatureAustralopithecus afarensis, which lived some 3.7 million years ago, was ancestral to man and evolved after the human-ape splitting.
