Comparative Osteology, Phylogeny and Classification of the Eastern South American Catfish Genus Trichomycterus (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae)

Wilson J. E. M. Costa · 16 Jun 2021

Trichomycterus has been considered for a long time to be the most problematic genus of the diverse neotropical subfamily Trichomycterinae. Recently, Trichomycterus was restricted to a clade from eastern South America supported by molecular data, but no unique morphological character state was found to distinguish it, making it difficult to allocate new species based on…

Taxonomic Revision of the pulcherrima Clade of Metschnikowia (Fungi): Merger of Species

Matthias Sipiczki · 1 Mar 2022

The type strains of 10 small-spored species of the ascomycetous yeast genus Metschnikowia usually form a compact group on the phylogenetic trees inferred from barcode sequences. Based on the name of the species, which was described first (Metschnikowia pulcherrima), the group is frequently referred to as the pulcherrima clade. All strains produce the iron-chelate pigment…

Description of Bisbalus, a New Genus for the Gray Brocket, Mazama cita Osgood, 1912 (Mammalia, Cervidae), as a Step to Solve the Neotropical Deer Puzzle

Eluzai Dinai Pinto Sandoval, Włodzimierz Jędrzejewski, Jesús Molinari et al. · 2 Jan 2024

The Neotropical deer genus Mazama is characterized by homoplastic morphological characters, a high karyotypic diversity, and a polyphyletic condition. The species of the genus have been recovered into two multigeneric lineages, the subtribes Odocoileina and Blastocerina, of the tribe Odocoileini (New World deer) in the family Cervidae. Within the Blastocerina, gray brockets include two non-sister…

Acinetobacter nematophilus sp. nov., Alcaligenes nematophilus sp. nov., Enterobacter nematophilus sp. nov., and Kaistia nematophila sp. nov., Isolated from Soil-Borne Nematodes and Proposal for the Elevation of Alcaligenes faecalis subsp. faecalis, Alcaligenes faecalis subsp. parafaecalis, and Alcaligenes faecalis subsp. phenolicus to the Species Level

Ricardo A. R. Machado, Ameni Loulou, Aashaq Hussain Bhat et al. · 9 Mar 2023

Four bacterial strains, A-IN1T, A-TC2T, E-TC7T, and K-TC2T, isolated from soil-borne nematodes of the species Oscheius tipulae and Acrobeloides bodenheimeri, were found to represent new species of the genera Acinetobacter, Alcaligenes, Enterobacter, and Kaistia, respectively. In this study, we described these new species using a polyphasic taxonomic approach that included whole-genome and whole-proteome phylogenomic reconstructions,…

Seed Morphological Properties Related to Taxonomy in Silene L. Species

José Javier Martín-Gómez, José Luis Rodríguez-Lorenzo, Ana Juan et al. · 27 Jul 2022

Silene taxonomy, traditionally based on morphological characteristics, is now driven by DNA sequence analysis. While the usefulness of both morphological and molecular methods remains undisputed, there is an interest in the identification of the morphological characteristics useful in taxonomy. A quantitative morphological analysis of seeds belonging to Silene species is presented here and is based…

Taxonomy template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Taxonomy format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Taxonomy template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Taxonomy use?
Taxonomy uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Taxonomy 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Taxonomy?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Taxonomy document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Taxonomy template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Taxonomy format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Taxonomy?
Taxonomy - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Taxonomy PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Taxonomy template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Taxonomy template cost?
You can start writing in the Taxonomy template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Taxonomy PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
