Plant succession at Mueller Glacier (New Zealand) UAV imagery and reference data (raw)

This dataset includes a drone (Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles, UAV) orthomosaic (RGB) of plant communities acquired at the Mueller Glacier (New Zealand) in Februrary 2018. The resolution (ground sampling distance) of the orthomosaic amounts to approx. 3-4 cm. The orthomosaic is partially labelled (polygon shapefiles) in terms of plant community cover. The plant communities have been defined according to a field survey (see reference below). The orthomosaic comes with an AOI (area of interest, polygon shapefile) that indicates the areas where the labelling was performed. Within the extent of this AOI plant communities are assumed to be completely delineated (by visual interpretation). For visual inspection of the imagery we recommend to generate image pyramids since the image data has a very high spatial resolution. Details on the dataset are mentioned in the corresponding publications: Kattenborn, T., Eichel, J., & Fassnacht, F. E. (2019). Convolutional Neural Networks enable efficient, accurate and fine-grained segmentation of plant species and communities from high-resolution UAV imagery. Scientific reports, 9(1), 1-9. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-53797-9">https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-53797-9</a> <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-53797-9">https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-53797-9</a> Kattenborn, T., Eichel, J., Wiser, S., Burrows, L., Fassnacht, F.

The new classification referred to the strict consensus tree of two trees (after Quint & Classen-Bockhoff, 2006a), based on matK sequence data of 65 taxa of Bruniaceae and two Columelliaceae (outgroup). Maximum likelihood; Bootstrap values ≥ 50% are indicated above branches. Species are named according to Pillans (1947).

Fig. 3. Flower and inflorescence arrangement showing the diagnostic features for the several genera and species (see Classen-Bockhoff, 2000). Flowers (circles) are either solitary (A–C) or arranged in closed (terminal flower present: D, E) or open (terminal flower absent: F–H) head-like ra- cemes. The solitary flowers are either terminal on bracteate short-shoots (A, B) or terminal and lateral on frondose shoots (C). The inflorescences are lateral (E), lateral and terminal (D, F) or terminal (G, H). Note that the sympodial units (particularly in A, B, E) may grow for several seasons then being connected by monopodial inserts. iz, innovation zone; black: basic flowering unit.

Data from: A new genus in the diverse Andean Pedaliodes complex uncovered using target enrichment (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae)

A new genus of Neotropical Satyrinae butterflies, Viloriodes Pyrcz & Espeland gen. n. is described in the Pedaliodes complex comprising 11-13 genera and more than 400 species. Support for the new genus is provided by a phylogenetic analysis based on target enrichment data (TE) including 618 nuclear loci with a total of 248 940 nucleotides, and the mitochondrial gene COI. Five species, whose DNA sequences were obtained by TE during this study, form a strongly supported clade sister to the large clade comprising Pedaliodes Butler and other four genera. Complementary COI analysis confirms the monophyly of Viloriodes gen. n., with the above five plus eight other species clustering in highly supported clades in both Bayesian Inference (BI) and Maxium Likelihood analyses, and a TE+COI concatenated tree. Based on molecular and morphological data, 30 species are assigned to Viloriodes gen. n. The new genus can be recognized by a set of subtle morphological of colour patterns characters, male and female genitalia. The shape of the valva is diagnostic, with a finger-like tip and, in some species, an ampulla produced into an elongated process. The female genitalia are characterized by the ductus bursae having a strongly sclerotized 'keel' with a bifurcate terminus. An analysis of divergence times indicates that Viloriodes gen. n. and Steromapedaliodes Forster separated around 5.9 Mya. Viloriodes gen. n. has a wider geographic distribution than any other genus of the Pedaliodes complex, being found from central Mexico to northern Argentina and to the Guyana Shield, typically occurring at lower elevations than Pedaliodes.

Data from: A new species of spottail darter endemic to the Clarks River in Kentucky and Tennessee (Percidae: Etheostomatinae: Etheostoma)

Etheostoma xanthovum, the Clarks Darter, is described as a new species endemic to the Clarks River in Kentucky and Tennessee, USA. Etheostoma xanthovum was previously delimited as Etheostoma oophylax, the Guardian Darter, based on morphological trait data. Subsequent to the description of E. oophylax, molecular phylogenetic analyses consistently resolved specimens from the Clarks River system and E. chienense, the Relict Darter, as sister species, which together formed a sister clade to all other sampled populations of E. oophylax. Our analyses of morphological traits, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and genomic sampling using double digest restriction-site associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing support the distinctiveness of Etheostoma xanthovum. Morphologically, Etheostoma xanthovum, differs from Etheostoma oophylax in the number of dorsal fin rays (12 versus 11), anal fin rays (8 versus 7), and in the number of scale rows around the caudal peduncle (21.8 versus 20.37). Etheostoma xanthovum does not share mtDNA haplotypes with Etheostoma oophylax or Etheostoma chienense. Phylogenomic analysis of an average of 28,448 ddRAD loci per sampled specimen resolves Etheostoma xanthovum and Etheostoma chienense as sister species, and assessment of genomic divergence supports the hypothesis that each of these two species represents a distinct and independently evolving lineage. In addition, we report a range extension of Etheostoma oophylax in the Obion River system, a direct tributary of the Mississippi River.

FIGURE 1. MrBayes phylogram inferred from incomplete internal transcribed spacer rDNA sequence data. Choiromyces meandriformis and C. alveolatus were used to root the tree. The same outcome was shown via Maximum Likelihood. On each branch, Bayesian posterior probability values (PP> 0.75) and maximum likelihood bootstrap values (MLbs> 75%) are displayed. The new species sequences are denoted by an asterisk (*). Different colours are used to represent the six primary Tuber phylogroups. Our findings establish T. mongolicum sp. nov. based on phylogenetic studies as well as morphological observations.
