A new perspective on lower metazoan relationships from 18S rDNA sequences.
Despite a number of recent molecular phylogenetic analyses, the relationships between the diploblastic lower metazoan phyla are far from resolved. These molecular phylogenies, usually based on 18S rDNA sequences, often conflict with each other and with traditional views on the early evolution of the metazoa. One of the more startling hypotheses places the diploblastic phyla that have true nervo...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Relationships Among Xiphinema and Xiphidorus Nematode Species from Brazil Inferred from 18S rDNA Sequences.
Maximum likelihood trees produced from 18S rDNA sequences separated 14 Xiphinema and five Xiphidorus nematode species from Brazil into distinct groups that concurred with their current morphological taxonomic status. Species belonging to the X. americanum group (X. brevicolle, X. diffusum, X. oxycaudatum, and X. peruvianum) formed a single group that was clearly separated from the other Xiphine...
متن کاملPhylogenetic relationships among higher Nemertean (Nemertea) Taxa inferred from 18S rDNA sequences.
We estimated the phylogenetic relationships of 15 nemertean (phylum Nemertea) species from the four subclasses Hoplo-, Hetero-, Palaeo-, and Bdellonemertea with 18S rDNA sequence data. Three outgroup taxa were used for rooting: Annelida, Platyhelminthes, and Mollusca. Parsimony and maximum-likelihood analyses supported the monophyletic status of the Heteronemertea and a taxon consisting of hopl...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of Lymnaeid snails based on 18S rDNA sequences.
The 18S rDNA sequences of the six most common European Lymnaeidae species (Mollusca:Gastropoda:Basommatophora) have been obtained by direct PCR cycle sequencing and silver staining methods. The sequence alignment and secondary structures of the 18S rRNA gene of Lymnaea stagnalis, L. auricularia, L. peregra, L. palustris, L. glabra, and L. truncatula are analyzed. This gene proves to be a good m...
متن کاملAn 18S rDNA Perspective on the Classification of Criconematoidea.
In the nematode family Criconematidae, a taxonomy primarily based on cuticle characters has created classifications that are notoriously volatile. Molecular characters may lead to their stabilization. A phylogenetic tree of Criconematoidea was constructed using 166 new near full-length 18S rDNA sequences and 58 sequences from GenBank. Bayesian and maximum likelihood (ML) analyses produced trees...
