The phylogenetic definition of reptilia.
Naming taxa is an important endeavor in the documentation of life by systematists, whether it is conducted in the context of traditional rank-based classification or within a phylogenetic framework. Proponents of the phylogenetic approach distinguish between the diagnosis of a group and its definition (Ghiselin, 1984; Rowe, 1987, 1988), and this distinction forms the basis for a phylogeneticall...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Relationships of the Large-Bodied Members of the African Lizard Genus Pachydactylus (Reptilia: Gekkonidae)
Evolutionary relationships among large-bodied species in the gekkonid genus Pachydactylus were investigated using mtDNA sequences from the cytochrome b and 16S ribosomal RNA genes. We combined these data in parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses to address several systematic issues regarding the eight largebodied taxa, including their phylogenetic position in Pachydactylus as a whole. The la...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Relationships among the Asian Tortoises of the Genus Indotestudo (reptilia: Testudines: Testudinidae)
– Based on variation in 1094 bp of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene among members of the genus Indotestudo from southern Asia (I. elongata), south-western India (I. travancorica), and eastern Indonesia (I. forstenii), I. travancorica is most similar genetically to I. elongata (3.7% divergence), and strongly divergent from I. forstenii (5.5 to 5.9%). Individuals of I. forstenii with and witho...
متن کاملFirst application of the SINE (short interspersed repetitive element) method to infer phylogenetic relationships in reptiles: an example from the turtle superfamily Testudinoidea.
Although turtles (order Testudines) constitute one of the major reptile groups, their phylogenetic relationships remain largely unresolved. Hence, we attempted to elucidate their phylogeny using the SINE (short interspersed repetitive element) method, in which the sharing of a SINE at orthologous loci is indicative of synapomorphy. First, a detailed characterization of the tortoise polIII/SINE ...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Relationships among Corals
Reef-building corals are the framework builders for coral reefs and a key player in the coral reef ecosystem. They are the animals that form the foundation of Virgin Islands coral reefs which provide protection from the open ocean, are an economic resource in terms of tourism and fisheries, are the source of chemical compounds of biomedical importance, and provide great natural beauty. Due to b...
