Bullera species in the Trichosporonales  are phylogenetically distinct from Bullera alba , the type species of Bullera that belongs to Tremellales. In the present study, the three Bullera species, namely Bullera formosensis, Bullera koratensis and Bullera lagerstroemiae, and Cryptococcus tepidarius belonging to the Trichosporonales are transferred into a new genus Takashimella gen. nov. (MycoBank No. MB 810672) based on sequence analysis of the small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene, the D1/D2 domains of large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene and the ITS+5.8S rRNA gene sequences. In addition, the genus Cryptotrichosporon is emended to accommodate a novel ballistoconidium-forming species of the Trichosporonales, which is named as Cryptotrichosporon tibetense (type strain CGMCC 2.02614T = CBS 10455T). The MycoBank number of this new species is MB 810688. Bullera was established by Derx , MycoBank MB 810672Etymology: This genus is named in honor of Masako Takashima, Biological Resource Center (NBRC), Department of Biotechnology, National Institute of Technology and Evaluation, Japan, for her numerous contributions to the taxonomy of yeasts.Cryptotrichosporon can not use either of the two carbon sources.

AbstractVigna Savi, subgenus Ceratotropis (Piper) Verdc., Vignayadavii S.P. Gaikwad, R.D. Gore, S.D. Randive & K.U. Garad, sp. nov. is described and illustrated here. It is morphologically close to Vignadalzelliana (Kuntze) Verdc. but differs in its underground obligate cleistogamous flowers on positively geotropic branches, hairy calyx, small corolla, linear style beak and dimorphic seeds with shiny seed coat.A new species of  Vigna Savi is a large pantropical genus of the tribe Phaseoleae with 90 species distributed in six subgenera (Vigna only the subgenus Ceratotropis (Piper) Verdc. has its center of species diversity in Asia and it is popularly known as Asian Vigna  Verdc.  Verdc. . HoweverLeguminosae – Papilionoideae in Western Ghats of India, the authors collected an interesting species of Vigna on hill slopes at about 1200 m elevation above mean sea level in Nasik and Satara districts of Maharashtra, India. It interestingly possesses underground cleistogamous flowers on positively geotropic branches. This unusual character of Vigna species encouraged its detailed study, which revealed that it represents an un-described species of the genus Vigna subgenus Ceratotropis.

Verdc. but differs in its underground obligate cleistogamous flowers on positively geotropic branches, hairy calyx, small corolla, linear style beak and dimorphic seeds.The species is named in honor of Prof. S.R. Yadav, Department of Botany, Shivaji University Kolhapur, India (MS), in recognition of his valuable contribution to taxonomy of flowering plants of Western Ghats of India.India, Maharashtra, Nasik Dist., Kasara-Ghat near Igatpuri and Kalvan, Saptashrungi hills; Satara Dist., Thoseghar.Vignayadavii is a twining annual herb, which grows on hill slopes in grasses and herbs at about 1200 m elevation from above sea level in Western Ghats of India. The common associates of the species are Abelmoschusmanihot (L.) Medik., Apludamutica L., Carissacongesta Wt., Crotalariapallida Ait., C.mysorensis Roth., C.leptostachya Benth., Cymbopogonmartinii (Roxb.) Wats., Elephantopusscaber L., Eragrostis spp., Flemingiastrobilifera (L.) R.Br. ex Ait., Hemidesmusindicus (L.) R.Br. ex Shult., Themeda spp. and Urenalobata L.Vignayadavii shows morphological similarities with Vignadalzelliana (Kuntze) Verdc. but differs from the latter species by the characters given in Table V.yadavii. In addition to this, dimorphic seeds and differences in hilum, aril, style beak and corolla are also useful distinguishing characteristics of the new species. Vignadalzelliana has a unique flattened style beak but that of V.yadavii is linear. The poorly developed aril of seeds of the cleistogamous flowers is also diagnostic feature of V.yadavii.During rainy season (August–November), the species produces chasmogamous flowers on aerial branches and underground obligate cleistogamous flowers on positively geotropic branches. The cleistogamous flowers are much smaller than chasmogamous flowers and white-albino in color. They remain closed. The pods of cleistogamous flowers are colorless, short, curved and 3–5-seeded. There are no structural differences in chasmogamic and cleistogamic flowers except for the smaller size and white albino color of the latter.

The class Chlorophyceae (Chlorophyta) includes morphologically and ecologically diverse green algae. Most of the documented species belong to the clade formed by the Chlamydomonadales  and Sphaeropleales. Although studies based on the nuclear 18S rRNA gene or a few combined genes have shed light on the diversity and phylogenetic structure of the Chlamydomonadales, the positions of many of the monophyletic groups identified remain uncertain. Here, we used a chloroplast phylogenomic approach to delineate the relationships among these lineages.Jenufa) that was suspected to be sister to the Golenkiniaceae, and two sphaeroplealeans. Using Bayesian and/or maximum likelihood inference methods, we analyzed an amino acid data set that was assembled from 69 cpDNA-encoded proteins of 73 core chlorophyte (including 33 chlorophyceans), as well as two nucleotide data sets that were generated from the 69 genes coding for these proteins and 29 RNA-coding genes. The protein and gene phylogenies were congruent and robustly resolved the branching order of most of the investigated lineages. Within the Chlamydomonadales, 22 taxa formed an assemblage of five major clades/lineages. The earliest-diverging clade displayed Hafniomonas laevis and the Crucicarteria, and was followed by the Radicarteria and then by the Chloromonadinia. The latter lineage was sister to two superclades, one consisting of the Oogamochlamydinia and Reinhardtinia and the other of the Caudivolvoxa and Xenovolvoxa. To our surprise, the Jenufa species and the two spine-bearing green algae belonging to the Golenkinia and Treubaria genera were recovered in a highly supported monophyletic group that also included three taxa representing distinct families of the Sphaeropleales .To generate the analyzed amino acid and nucleotide data sets, we sequenced the chloroplast DNAs (cpDNAs) of 24 chlorophycean taxa; these included representatives from 16 of the 21 primary clades previously recognized in the Chlamydomonadales, two taxa from a coccoid lineage  contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

AbstractDidelphis sp., 40 Didelphisvirginiana, 15 Didelphismarsupialis, and 5 Philanderopossum) were collected in 18 localities from 12 Mexican states. A total of 12,188 helminths representing 21 taxa were identified . Sixty-six new locality records, 9 new host records, and one species, the trematode Brachylaimadidelphus, is added to the composition of the helminth fauna of the opossums in Mexico. These data, in conjunction with previous records, bring the number of taxa parasitizing the Mexican terrestrial marsupials to 41. Among these species, we recognized a group of helminths typical of didelphids in other parts of the Americas. This group is constituted by the trematode Rhopaliascoronatus, the acanthocephalan Oligacanthorhynchusmicrocephalus and the nematodes Cruziatentaculata, Gnathostomaturgidum, and Turgidaturgida. In general, the helminth fauna of each didelphid species showed a stable taxonomic composition with respect to previously sampled sites. This situation suggests that the rate of accumulation of helminth species in the inventory of these 3 species of terrestrial marsupials in the Neotropical portion of Mexico is decreasing; however, new samplings in the Nearctic portion of this country will probably increase the richness of the helminthological inventory of this group of mammals.From August 2011 to November 2013, 68 opossums (8  Didelphisvirginiana Kerr, the common opossum Didelphismarsupialis Linnaeus, and the Gray four-eyed opossum Philanderopossum Linnaeus) from this country. However, the knowledge of the helminth richness associated with this host group is incomplete due to the wide distribution of these mammals in Mexico. Didelphismarsupialis occurs from Tamaulipas State and west San Luis Potosí until the Yucatán peninsula. Didelphisvirginiana inhabits almost all of Mexico, except for the central Plateau and Baja California peninsula. Philanderopossum occurs from south Tamaulipas State along the Gulf of Mexico coast and Chiapas State  were collected in 18 localities from 12 Mexican states Site of infection.

CHIAPAS: Arriaga†: Didelphis sp.Specimens deposited. CNHE 8987.PageBreakRemarks. To date, 12 species of the genus Travassostrongylus have been described, all parasitizing New World marsupials; Travassostrongylusorloffi Travassos, 1935 is the only species of this genus recorded in Mexico as parasite of Didelphismarsupialis; however, the finding of only 8 females make species identification difficult, because taxonomy of this group is based on male characteristics , followed by Didelphismarsupialis (11 species) and Philanderopossum (8 species). The digestive tract had the highest number of helminth species ; only 2 of the 21 taxa, Didelphostrongylushayesi and Capillariinae gen. sp. were found in another site of infection (lungs). The geographic distribution of the helminth species was heterogeneous. The nematode Cruziatentaculata was the only species found in all localities. Other helminth species were collected from 7 (Trichurisdidelphis), 8  and 9 (Viannaiaviannai) localities; however, most taxa (12) were found in only one locality.As a result of this study, we reported 66 new locality records, 9 new host records, and added one species to the composition of the helminth fauna of the opossums in Mexico: the trematode ntry see . A totalDidelphisvirginiana, Didelphismarsupialis, and Philanderopossum to 37, 21 and 20, respectively . Other states, as Campeche and Quintana Roo, have been sampled once. Moreover, most of the species that have been found parasitizing these didelphid species represent point locality records in only one study about its parasites cover states or regions, particularly Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz. However, the host’s collections were made along 13 years, in different year season and with a very distinct sample size , five are transmitted directly by eggs ingestion  and for Philandrophilusmagnacirrus, Rhopaliasbaculifer, Rhopaliascoronatus, Rhopaliasmacracanthus, Rhopaliascaballeroi, Viannaiadidelphis and Viannaiaviannai, the life cycle is unknown ; however, the helminth fauna of each didelphid species showed a stable taxonomic composition with respect to previously sampled sites. Only one species of trematode not previously found in this group of hosts in the country was added to their parasitological record as results of our samples. In spite of the reduced scope of our samplings, this situation suggests that the rate of accumulation of helminth species in the inventory of the 3 species of terrestrial marsupials distributed in the Neotropical portion of Mexico included in this study is decreasing; however, new samplings in the Nearctic portion of this country will probably increase the richness of the helminthological inventory of this group of mammals.PageBreak

AbstractMelaloncha is a large group of species of parasitoid phorid flies that attack Hymenoptera, mostly stingless bees  in the Neotropical Region.The genus Melaloncha  peacockorum sp. n. and Melaloncha (Udamochiras) nielsi sp. n., are described and their identification clarified.Two new Brazilian species,  Melaloncha are small (1.5-4.5 mm) fast, agile parasitoids, mostly of stingless bees, bumble bees, and honey bees, but with records also from orchid bees, sweat bees, and vespid wasps  and the Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. Photographs were taken using a Keyence V5000 digital microscope.urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:FE39F86E-1F6C-4A29-8F8E-A8A6B9F4A49CType status:Holotype.

In the most recent key to Melaloncha  species .Brazil.Melaloncha species, this fly is probably a parasitoid of stingless bees. It was collected with a Shannon trap, whose operation I have observed in Brazil. The trap is a large structure consisting of a square of black netting, about 3 m in length on each side, with outer walls of the same material. In construction it is like a large box missing the bottom side. The trap is suspended so that the sides are about 0.3 m above the ground, allowing insects access to the bait. Many insects attempt to escape by flying upwards, rather than using the small opening at ground level, and thus get caught in the top of the trap.Like most The bait used by the researchers is placed in a shallow pit near the center, and consists of a couple of fish, chicken meat, various vegetables, a bag of oatmeal, some mushrooms, human feces, and urine. This smorgasborg "ripens" over several days and attracts hordes of flies, but also other insects including stingless bees, which are frequently attracted to protein .

Syntheses of qualitative studies can inform health policy, services and our understanding of patient experience. Meta-ethnography is a systematic seven-phase interpretive qualitative synthesis approach well-suited to producing new theories and conceptual models. However, there are concerns about the quality of meta-ethnography reporting, particularly the analysis and synthesis processes. Our aim was to investigate the application and reporting of methods in recent meta-ethnography journal papers, focusing on the analysis and synthesis process and output.Methodological systematic review of health-related meta-ethnography journal papers published from 2012–2013. We searched six electronic databases, Google Scholar and Zetoc for papers using key terms including ‘meta-ethnography.’ Two authors independently screened papers by title and abstract with 100% agreement. We identified 32 relevant papers. Three authors independently extracted data and all authors analysed the application and reporting of methods using content analysis.Meta-ethnography was applied in diverse ways, sometimes inappropriately. In 13% of papers the approach did not suit the research aim. In 66% of papers reviewers did not follow the principles of meta-ethnography. The analytical and synthesis processes were poorly reported overall. In only 31% of papers reviewers clearly described how they analysed conceptual data from primary studies  and in only one paper (3%) reviewers explicitly described how they conducted the analytic synthesis process (phase 6). In 38% of papers we could not ascertain if reviewers had achieved any new interpretation of primary studies. In over 30% of papers seminal methodological texts which could have informed methods were not cited.We believe this is the first in-depth methodological systematic review of meta-ethnography conduct and reporting. Meta-ethnography is an evolving approach. Current reporting of methods, analysis and synthesis lacks clarity and comprehensiveness. This is a major barrier to use of meta-ethnography findings that could contribute significantly to the evidence base because it makes judging their rigour and credibility difficult. To realise the high potential value of meta-ethnography for enhancing health care and understanding patient experience requires reporting that clearly conveys the methodology, analysis and findings. Tailored meta-ethnography reporting guidelines, developed through expert consensus, could improve reporting.The online version of this article (doi:10.1186/1471-2288-14-119) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users. Evidence-based health care requires robust, synthesised evidence of all types in combination with clinical judgment and information on patient preferences. Quantitative evidence syntheses are now routinely used internationally to inform clinical guidelines, health technology assessment and intervention development .
