Phylogenetic Eigenvector Regression in Paleobiology
Phylogenetic Eigenvector Regression (PVR) is a fl exible comparative method that allows testing several hypotheses on phylogenetic signal and correlated evolution among traits. Selected phylogenetic eigenvectors extracted from a phylogenetic distance matrix among taxa allow representing their phylogenetic relatedness in a raw-data form (i.e. instead of a distance matrix) and can then be used as...
متن کاملthe effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test
in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...
15 صفحه اولMitochondrial Diversity and Phylogenetic Structure of Marghoz Goat Population
The genetic diversity and phylogenetic structure was analyzed in Marghoz goat population by mitochondrial DNA sequences. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using hyper variable region 1 (968 bp) obtained form 40 animals. Marghoz goat proved to be extremely diverse (average haplotype diversity of 0.999) and the nucleotide diversity values 0.022. A total of 40 Marghoz goats were grouped into s...
متن کاملOptimal Inventorying and Monitoring of Taxon, Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity
1. Inventorying requires comprehensive sampling, while monitoring should build on it and focus on as few components as possible to detect changes in time or space. To sample or acquire information for both purposes can therefore be viewed as different processes, herewith called α-sampling and β-sampling. Biodiversity covers species, their genetic diversity and the way they interact in communiti...
متن کاملUnderstanding global patterns of mammalian functional and phylogenetic diversity.
Documenting and exploring the patterns of diversity of life on Earth has always been a central theme in biology. Species richness despite being the most commonly used measure of diversity in macroecological studies suffers from not considering the evolutionary and ecological differences among species. Phylogenetic diversity (PD) and functional diversity (FD) have been proposed as alternative me...
