Phylogenetic Methods and Vertebrate Phylogeny
There are many phenomena in the world that we can observe and would like to understand. In particular, most of us want to know why things happen. To approach any question scientifically, we use a formalized approach, using the initial observations to formulate testable hypotheses. Testable hypotheses are explanations of how things happen, that can be tested by collecting more data either throug...
متن کاملConodont anatomy, chordate phylogeny and vertebrate classification
Interpretations of conodont anatomy and affinity continue to generate controversy. Fossilized soft-tissue evidence indicates that conodonts possessed eyes, extrinsic eye muscles, a notochord, myomeres, a differentiated tail with fin radials, possible otic capsules and possible branchial structures. Indirect evidence suggests a differentiated brain and cartilaginous head skeleton. The multi-comp...
متن کاملSteroid receptor phylogeny and vertebrate origins.
Vertebrates appear about 500 million years ago in the fossil record. This is only 25-50 million years after the great explosion of multicellular invertebrate body plans in the early Cambrian. On a geological time scale, this interval is a 'blink of an eye', suggesting that the evolution of regulatory genes is likely to be important in the origins of vertebrates. Here we present evidence for a r...
متن کاملVertebrate phylogeny of hydrogen sulfide vasoactivity.
Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) is a recently identified endogenous vasodilator in mammals. In steelhead/rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Osteichthyes), H(2)S produces both dose-dependent dilation and a unique dose-dependent constriction. In this study, we examined H(2)S vasoactivity in all vertebrate classes to determine whether H(2)S is universally vasoactive and to identify phylogenetic and/or e...
متن کاملGoing nuclear: gene family evolution and vertebrate phylogeny reconciled.
Gene duplications have been common throughout vertebrate evolution, introducing paralogy and so complicating phylogenetic inference from nuclear genes. Reconciled trees are one method capable of dealing with paralogy, using the relationship between a gene phylogeny and the phylogeny of the organisms containing those genes to identify gene duplication events. This allows us to infer phylogenies ...
