A Comparative Approach to the Taxonomy and Phylogeny of Pan
INTRODUCTION In the dim light of dawn a nest high in the canopy rustles with the movements of its inhabitants. The sun appears on the horizon as a slender male chimpanzee emerges, followed by a female. An infant clinging to the female's belly yawns, grasping its mother's hair in tiny, tight fists as it stretches against her. After a moment of quietly gazing at each other the adults silently swi...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny and taxonomy of species of Cousinia section Stenocephalae (Asteraceae) in NE of Iran
In this study, the phylogeny and morphological variation of 6 species of the genus Cousinia sect. Stenocephalae, i.e., C. hypopolia, C. decipiens, C. esfandiarii, C. renominata, C. stahliana and C. daryoushiana, distributed in NE regions of Iran, were investigated. ITS, ETS and rpl32-trnL (UAG) sequences for 12 species (17 specimens) were generated. Phylogenetic interspecies relationships were ...
متن کاملTests of turtle phylogeny: molecular, morphological, and paleontological approaches.
We present phylogenetic analyses of both molecular and morphological data for the 23 major lineages of living turtles and seven key fossil taxa. Nearly 1 kilobase of cytochrome b sequence, 325 base pairs of 12S ribosomal DNA, and 115 morphological characters contained similar phylogenetic information, although each provided unique information on different nodes of chelonian history. A character...
متن کاملPerspectives in taxonomy and phylogeny of the genus Astragalus (Fabaceae): a review
The genus Astragalus L. (Fabaceae) is reviewed from both phyloenetic and taxonomic points of view. As the largest genus of flowering plants it has attracted many researchers, but much work remains to be done. A short taxonomic history with special focus on infrageneric classification of the genus, a list of phylogenetic studies including the applied markers and sampling strategies as well a...
متن کاملPhylogeny and taxonomy of Macrolepiota (Agaricaceae).
The position and composition of Macrolepiota within the Agaricaceae and its phylogenetic relationships with other members of the family were investigated, using both molecular (ITS and LSU rDNA sequences) and morphological characters. The molecular data separate the genus into two clades. The first clade comprises M. procera, M. mastoidea, M. clelandii and allies and is a sister group of Leucoa...
