چکیده

There are presented automatic classification methods which, according to the authors' conceptions, are specific to biology. In section 1 there are included the necessary steps made in the automatic classification. In section 2 there are presented 2 methods of automatic classification which are frequently used in any field and in opposition with it the section 3 presents another method from literature (due to Buser and Baroni-Urbani) considered superior, in the main. Section 4 is entirely dedicated to some original methods originating in improvements and sections of the methods of the Section 3 and to some applications of them on human biometry. Thus, sections 4.1 and 4.2 presents the L* and H* homogeneties (proposed by L. Dragomirescu) for the classification in biology. Section 4.3 presents an application of the H* homogeneity in the historical anthropology and section 4.4 contains a new extension of the method of the Section 3 and an application of it within the genetics of the human populations.The new extension concerns the inference in contingency table and it is applicable in any field.

The current status of Pythium species in Iran: challenges in taxonomy

Pythium species are cosmopolitan, fungus-like oomycotes which may cause diseases in plants, animals and even human beings. Some of the species, however, are saprophytes and also well-proven biological control agents of plant pathogenic fungi. Since 1968, when the first Pythium species was reported from Iran, ca 44 species, two varieties, and five groups of this genus have been reported from dif...

The importance of palynology in the taxonomy of genus Silene, based on pollen morphology

 In this study, the palynology of 33 species of Silene belonging to 15 sections was investigated to examine the correspondence between palynology, morphological sections and phylogenetic trees. The pollen grains were prepared using the acetolysis method. Quantitative and qualitative micromorphological features of pollens were investigated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy....

NUMERICAL TAXONOMY AND SEED PROTEIN ANALYSIS OF HYOSCYAMUS SPECIES IN IRAN

Numerical taxonomy and seed storage protein analysis of Hyoscyamus species of Iran was carried out with the aim to illustrate species inter-relationship and to check the sub-generic taxonomic treatment proposed for the genus. Cluster analysis of morphological and protein data grouped the species in three separate clusters which supports the relationships of H. niger with H. reticulatus and H. k...
