Microhabitat choice of cryptic species: do closely related nematode species really occur together? Ghent University
Efficacy of micafungin in invasive candidiasis caused by common Candida species with special emphasis on non-albicans Candida species Ghent University
Endangered Species: 50% of IUCN Euphorbia species in the ex situ collection at Meise. Meise Botanic Garden
Objective 2 target 8 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation 2011-2020 aims to secure 75% of threatened plants species in ex situ collections. The Botanic Garden Meise contributes to this target by investing in conservation relevant collections. In 2015, the garden reached its conservation goal to secure 50% of the 199 Euphorbia species assessed by IUCN as vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered by at least one accession per taxon. ...
Habitat suitability modelling of four terrestrial slug species in the Iberian Peninsula (Arionidae: Geomalacus species) University of Antwerp
Ecological niche modelling (ENM) determines habitat suitability of species by relating records of occurrence to environmental variables. Here, we investigated habitat suitability of four terrestrial slugs of the genus Geomalacus from the Iberian Peninsula using ENM. The potential distribution of these species was estimated using maximum entropy modelling. For this we used published presence records, together with observations from our fieldwork, ...

Revision of the Antarctic diatom species (Bacillariophyta) described by West & West (1911) with the description of two new specie Meise Botanic Garden
In 1911, W. & G.S. West published a detailed account of freshwater algae collected by James Murray in the vicinity of Cape Royds on Ross Island (Antarctic Continent). Out of of 84 algal taxa reported, 30 were diatoms. Although the majority of the diatoms were considered (at that time) to be cosmopolitan, eight diatom species and two varieties were described as new. While most of these new taxa are still commonly reported from Antarctic and ...
Changes in species richness and spatial distribution of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) inferred from museum specimen records and a recent inventory: a case study from Belgium suggests recent expanded distribution of arbovirus and malaria vectors Institute of Tropical Medicine
Life out of place : revisiting species invasions : introduction to the special issue Ghent University
This introduction begins at the Bruges 2018 Triennial Liquid City, where the research and design collective Rotor, the Ghent Centre for Global Studies, and Anna L. Tsing organised an interdisciplinary workshop on the trajectories of displaced species. Looking back to the collaborative reflection that emerged during the workshop, and the pandemic since, this special issue recalls invasive species from within the broader field of multispecies ...
Analysis of the type specimens of Fragilaria alpestris (Bacillariophyta) with description of two new ‘araphid’ species from the sub-Antarctic and Arctic Region Meise Botanic Garden University of Antwerp
During a survey of the sub-Antarctic diatom flora, several populations previously identified as Fragilaria alpestris were reanalysed and compared with type material of the latter species. The morphological ultrastructure of the type of F. alpestris, the sub-Antarctic populations and an additional population of F. cf. alpestris from Spitsbergen has been analysed using light and scanning electron microscopy observations. The analysis revealed that ...
