Population and herbarium genomics provide a comprehensive framework for a revision of Microcoleus (Cyanobacteria).
Article in Journal of phycology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Microcoleus is a cosmopolitan, filamentous cyanobacterium and a key component of biological soil crusts-complex microbial communities essential for primary production in diverse terrestrial environments. Here, we performed a taxonomic revision of several species of Microcoleus based on a large population genomic dataset. The dataset was based on a Microcoleus speciation continuum characterized by variable levels of gene flow between the species. The putative species ranged from cryptic to distinctly morphologically defined lineages. We identify the type herbarium specimen and obtained a genome for the type species M. vaginatus and herein describe 10 novel species of Microcoleus. We provide epitypifications for the previously described species M. vaginatus and M. attenuatus. This research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of terrestrial cyanobacterial biodiversity and cryptic species in cyanobacteria. It highlights the need for an extensive genomic and phenotypic dataset in the taxonomy of Cyanobacteria.
