Advances in freshwater decapod systematics and biology
Freshwater habitats of the Caribbean island Jamaica are unique, in so far that they are not inhabited by freshwater Decapoda Reptantia with a long evolutionary history in fresh water, like crayfish or old lineages of freshwater crabs. Instead, a relatively young invasion and radiation of originally coastal crabs from the family Sesarmidae took place, resulting in currently ten endemic sesarmid ...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Systematics
Since the advent of the theory of evolutio n, o ne of the tasks of biology has bee n to i nvestigate the phyloge netic relatio nship betwee n species. This task is especially impor ta nt because all of the differe nces which exist betwee n species, whether i n morphology, physiology , or ecology, i n ways of behavior, or even i n geographical distributio n, have evolved , like the species thems...
متن کاملBiological Systematics
Biological systematics encompasses three distinct activities: taxonomy, classification (which may or may not be a reasonable reflection of phylogeny) and nomenclature (Fig. 1). Although systematists rigorously and distinctly practice these three components, they are often amalgamated under the term “taxonomy.” While the breadth of “taxonomy” is clearly understood among most practitioners, it ca...
متن کاملRecent advances on the taxonomy, systematics and epidemiology of Trichinella.
Since Owen first described Trichinella as a human pathogen in 1835, the number of organisms comprising this genus has grown dramatically. Where it was once thought to be a monospecific group, this genus is now comprised of eight species and three additional genotypic variants that have yet to be taxonomically defined. Along with the growth in the genus and description of the parasites has come ...
متن کاملCrisis in systematics.
James H. Oliver, Jr.’s Policy Forum “Crisis in biosystematics of arthropods” (20 May, p. 967) would have the scientific community do the right deed for the wrong reason. Systematics is not simply the identification of specimens, it is the reconstruction of evolutionary history; and it should be supported not just because it has practical applications (which it does) but because it is a fundamen...
