Utility of Wood Anatomical Characters in Cladistic Analyses
Wood anatomy is an important source of systematically informative character information that can and should be used in cladistic phylo genetic analyses ofrelationships in flowering plants. However, the re sults ofa cladistic analysis are only as good as the characters and obser vations, which together comprise the data set that is analyzed. The goal of this paper is to address the former of ...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Analysis and Fossil Plants
Stein Jr., W.E., 1987. Phylogenetic analysis and fossil plants. Rev. Palaeobot. Palynol., 50:31 61. This paper presents a perspective on the relat ionship between cladistic methods and the study of fossil plants. Paleobotany has been slow in evaluat ing the potent ial of these and other explicit methods compared to other branches of systematics. However, the unique or part icular ly difficult p...
متن کاملA Cladistic Approach for the Classification of Oligotrichid Ciliates (Ciliophora: Spirotricha).
Currently, gene sequence genealogies of the Oligotrichea Bütschli, 1889 comprise only few species. Therefore, a cladistic approach, especially to the Oligotrichida, was made, applying Hennig's method and computer programs. Twenty-three characters were selected and discussed, i.e., the morphology of the oral apparatus (five characters), the somatic ciliature (eight characters), special organelle...
متن کاملCladistic analysis of the pennatulacean genus Renilla Lamarck, 1816 (Coelenterata, Octocorallia)
The genus Renilla is an interesting taxon for phylogenetic studies, which includes six species endemic to America with an anphiamerican distribution (Pacific–Atlantic Ocean). A cladistic analysis of Renilla Lamarck, 1816 using eight characters from external morphology produced one cladogram (length 14, CI = 0.92, RI = 0.87), and the characters were polarized using Echinoptilum macintoshii Hubre...
متن کاملTaxMan: an online facility for the coding of continuous characters for cladistic analysis
A consensus is emerging that continuous (or metric) measures can be useful in phylogenetic systematics. Many of the methods for coding such characters, however, employ elements that are arbitrary and therefore should be excluded from use in cladistic analysis. The continued use of such potentially inappropriate methods can be attributed to either their simplicity or the availability of computer...
