Summary: A new red alga species, Dasya japonovillosa, is introduced from Japan. This species, as well as D. enomotoi, were previously misidentified as D. villosa by researchers in Japan due to their elongated axes densely covered with soft monosiphonous filaments. Dasya villosa can be distinguished from D. japonovillosa and D. enomotoi by the presence of five pericentral cells in transverse sections and palisade-like tetrasporangial cover cells. The unique characteristics of the new species include elongated axis (up to 65 cm), subdichotomously divided axes and polysiphonous branches, indistinct pericentral cells in transverse sections except near the apices, enlarged inner cortical cells, radially arranged numerous soft monosiphonous filaments, three-celled carpogonial branches, four tetrasporangia in each fertile segment of the stichidia, and one (rarely two) tetrasporangial cover cell that is not elongated longitudinally and rarely divided transversely.

Summary: This study describes two new species, Endoplura jejuensis and E. koreana, from Korea based on molecular and morphological analyses. Phylogenetic analysis shows that they are closely related to E. aurea from Japan. E. jejuensis is characterized by small light to dark brown thalli, while E. koreana has larger olive or yellowish-brown thalli.

Summary: This study conducted molecular, genetic, and morphological analyses of Lomentariaceae, resulting in the discovery of a new species, Ceratodictyon sanctae-crucis sp. nov., and the proposal of a new genus, Yendoa gen. nov., within Lomentariaceae. The study also revealed that Lomentariaceae now consists only of monophyletic genera, providing a more coherent taxonomic framework for the family.

Summary: A new species, Fragilaria shirshovii sp. nov., was identified and described based on molecular and morphological investigations. The species was isolated from desalinated water masses in the Gulf of Ob, where river and marine waters mix. The study analyzed the morphology of the species using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The importance rating for this article is 8 out of 10.

Summary: A new species Lobophora tsengii is described from Bach Long Vy (Bailongwei) Island, Haiphong Province, Vietnam, with morphological similarities to plants from Hainan Island, China. Molecular phylogenetic analyses show that the specimens from the island form a clade separated from other Lobophora species.

Summary: A multigene molecular phylogeny was conducted to study the genus Phymatolithon. The study revealed the polyphyletic grouping of two monophyletic clades within the Hapalidiales. As a result, a new genus, Phymatolithopsis, was established, consisting of three species. Phymatolithopsis is closely related to Mesophyllum and is distinct from Phymatolithon and boreal species assigned to Lithothamnion. Morpho-anatomical characteristics were used to differentiate Phymatolithopsis from Phymatolithon, including the origin of conceptacle primordia and the distribution of gonimoblast filaments in carposporangial conceptacles.

Summary: Molecular sequence analyses revealed that specimens previously identified as Cirrulicarpus sp. in southeastern Brazil are actually more closely related to the genus Meredithia. A new species, Meredithia dichotoma, is proposed to accommodate this rare and endemic taxon. It is characterized by its unique morphology and sequence divergence from its congeners. This finding represents the first record of a Meredithia species in Brazil and in the western South Atlantic, contributing to the diversity of the red algal family Kallymeniaceae.

Summary: The coralline algal genus Corallinapetra is monospecific and distinct from other families and orders within the Corallinophycidae. DNA analysis supports the establishment of a new family and order for Corallinapetra, and the reassignment of L. gabrielii to Corallinapetra. Additionally, comparison of molecular data confirms the placement of L. muelleri within the Hapalidiales.

Summary: This study introduces an automated pipeline for creating a continuously updated fern tree of life (FTOL) using DNA sequence data from GenBank. The pipeline combines whole plastomes and commonly sequenced plastid regions to obtain a high-resolution global fern phylogeny. By resolving synonyms using a curated reference taxonomy, the FTOL includes about 40% more species than previous global fern phylogenies. The FTOL and its associated datasets are available through a web portal and R packages, providing immediate access to the most up-to-date and comprehensive fern phylogeny.

Summary: This study reveals a new species, G. khanjanapajiae, in Thailand through morphological and genetic analyses. The species can be distinguished by its dentate blade margin, deep spermatangial conceptacles, and abundant nutritive filaments. Phylogenetically, it is closely related to G. spinulosa from Taiwan. The research highlights the ongoing discovery of Gracilaria diversity and distribution in the tropical Indo-Pacific.

Summary: This study proposes two new families, Climacocystaceae and Gloeoporellaceae, within the diverse group of Polyporales based on morphological and molecular data. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using DNA sequences of various genes, and the divergence time of Polyporales was estimated using the conserved regions of five DNA fragments. The results reveal the ancestral split of Polyporales and the ages of the families, with Climacocystaceae and Gloeoporellaceae originating at specific time periods.

Summary: Using Dictyotales as a model, this study investigates the historical biogeographical and diversification patterns of brown seaweeds. Results show that Dictyotales originated in the Middle Jurassic and reached peak diversity in the Central Indo-Pacific. Diversification rates were generally higher in tropical regions, with different clades driven by different processes.

Summary: After analyzing morpho-anatomical data and DNA sequences, it was discovered that the so-called "Lithophyllum okamurae" actually consisted of two species, Lithophyllum okamurae and a new cryptic species named L. neo-okamurae. These two species share similarities in morphology but can be distinguished by specific characteristics.

Summary: The author examines the combat peculiarities of the 47th Infantry Regiment of the French Army during the First World War, showing the impact of environmental conditions on soldiers' intensity and efficiency in combat operations. Soldiers faced vulnerability to temperature changes, physical strain from marches, and health risks from polluted battlefields. The environment also influenced combat effectiveness and made operations more difficult during severe environmental changes.
