Phylogeny and the Tree of Life
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a species or group of species. To reconstruct phylogeny, scientists use systematics, an analytical approach to classifying the diversity and determining the evolutionary relationships of living and extinct organisms. o Evidence used to reconstruct phylogenies can be obtained from the fossil record and from morphological, biochemical, and genetic similarities between organisms.

متن کاملEthnobotanical Applications and Their Correspondence with Phylogeny in Apiaceae-Apioideae
The Apiaceae family includes some of the most known medicinal, food and spice species in the world some of which have been used by humans since antiquity. Local people in different regions use many species of the family but the information regarding their uses is scattered. Traditionally used species are good candidates for bioprospecting. Combining traditional uses with phylogenetic data helps...
