Chamal (Dioon edule Lindl.) in the State of San Luis Potosí, México
INTRODUCTION A 20% of world cycad species are found in Mexico, 80% of which are endemic (Vovides, 2000). At least nine species are present in the state of San Luis Potosí: Dioon edule, Zamia fi scheri, Z. loddigesii, Ceratozamia hildae, C. kuesteriana, C. latifolia, C. mexicana, C. microstrobila, and C. zaragozae (Yáñez-Espinosa, 2006) [Ed’s note: Zamia vazquezii is also found in San Luis Potos...
متن کاملCharacter-based, population-level DNA barcoding in Mexican species of Zamia L. (Zamiaceae: Cycadales).
BACKGROUND AND AIMS With the recent proposal of matK and rbcL as core plant DNA barcoding regions by the Consortium for the Barcoding of Life Plant Working Group, the construction of reference libraries in the botanical DNA barcoding initiative has entered a new phase. However, in a recent DNA barcoding study in the three Mexican genera of the gymnosperm order Cycadales, we found that neither m...
متن کاملEvolutionary Genetics Theoretical Population Genetics
Evolutionary genetics studies the patterns and mechanisms of genetic changes underlying evolutionary change. Because biological diversity at all levels (including population, species, and ecosystem diversity) has a genetic basis and is a result of evolution, evolutionary genetics provides insight into the ultimate mechanisms creating biodiversity. Evolutionary genetics utilizes empirical tools ...
متن کاملNew fossil records of Ceratozamia (Zamiaceae, Cycadales) from the European Oligocene and lower Miocene
New compression leaf material of Ceratozamia (Zamiaceae) has been recognised in the European Cenozoic. A leaflet of Ceratozamia floersheimensis (Engelhardt) Kvaček was recovered among unidentified material from the Oligocene of Trbovlje, former Trifail, Slovenia, housed in old collections of the Austrian Geological Survey, Vienna. It is similar in morphology and epidermal anatomy to other speci...
متن کاملWhen population and evolutionary genetics met behaviour
In this review, we analyse the impact of a population and evolutionary genetics approach on the study of insect behaviour. Our attention is focused on the model organism Drosophila melanogaster and several other insect species. In particular, we explore the relationship between rhythmic behaviours and the molecular evolution of clock and ion channel genes.
