Imbroglios of viral taxonomy: genetic exchange and failings of phenetic approaches.
The practice of classifying organisms into hierarchical groups originated with Aristotle and was codified into nearly immutable biological law by Linnaeus. The heart of taxonomy is the biological species, which forms the foundation for higher levels of classification. Whereas species have long been established among sexual eukaryotes, achieving a meaningful species concept for prokaryotes has b...
متن کاملGenetic and Phenetic Approaches to Anopheles Systematics
The Anopheles genus is probably one of the best studied genera among insects of medical importance. Of more than 500 species currently listed in the world about sixty species are vectors of malaria agents and about thirty species are responsible for most of the transmission [1-3]. The important epidemiological role of anopheline species has motivated many studies of taxonomy and systematics wit...

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...
Phenetic and DNA taxonomy; a comment on Waugh.
Sir, This correspondence attempts to clarify two important issues relevant to the DNA barcoding initiative raised in Waugh’s otherwise, cogent and useful review. The first issue concerns the way that Waugh presents the analytic approach to DNA-barcoding data, and the second involves a broader issue with respect to the role of DNA barcoding in modern biology. Both issues are of great importance ...
متن کاملTransformation from manufacturing process taxonomy to repair process taxonomy: a phenetic approach
The need of taxonomy is vital for knowledge sharing. This need has been portrayed by through-life engineering services/systems. This paper addresses this issue by repair process taxonomy development. Framework for repair process taxonomy was developed followed by its implementation. The importance of repair process taxonomy has been highlighted.
