'Candidatus phytoplasma palmicola’: a novel taxon associated with a lethal yellowing-type disease (LYD) of coconut ( Cocos nucifera L.) in Mozambique
Published 2014“…Presence of unique regions in the 16S rRNA distinguished LYDM phytoplasma from all currently described ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma’ species, justifying its recognition as reference strain of a novel taxon, ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma palmicola’. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) profiles of the F2n/R2 portion (1251 bp) of the 16S rRNA gene and pattern similarity coefficient values delineated coconut LYDM phytoplasma strains from Mozambique as new members of established group 16SrXXII, subgroup A (16SrXXII-A). …”

Orchid biogeography and factors associated with rarity in a biodiversity hotspot, the Southwest Australian Floristic Region
Published 2011“…We combined a biogeographic analysis with analysis of factors associated with rarity to establish: (1) the landscape features correlated with taxon turnover and speciation, and (2) the possible role in taxon rarity of geographic region, pollination strategy, edaphic habitat and site of mycorrhizal infection. …”

The latent structure of autistic traits: a taxometric, latent class and latent profile analysis of the adult autism spectrum quotient
Published 2016“…A taxometric analysis of Adult Autism Spectrum Quotient data was conducted to test this assumption, finding little support but identifying a high severity taxon. To understand this further, latent class and latent profile models were estimated that indicated the presence of six distinct subtypes: one with little probability of endorsing any autistic traits, one engaging in ‘systemising’ behaviours, three groups endorsing multiple components of Wing and Gould’s autistic triad, and a group similar in size and profile the taxon previously identified. …”
