NEW TAXA RECORDS OF CAREX FROM IRAN

The genus Carex belongs to tribe Cariceae, subfamily Caricoideae and family Cyperaceae. This genus, with about 2000 species in the world and more than 50 species in Iran, is the largest genus among the family. In expedition to North West and West of Iran, two species, namely, Carex acuta and C. cilicica as new records and C. flava, C. rostrata and C. supina as reinvestigated species are reporte...

Inventory of new microbial taxa from Iran

Microorganisms constitute more than half of the Earth's biomass and in addition to quantity,they represent great diversity. In January 2013, the number of officially registered names forprokaryotic microorganisms at the genus and species levels were, respectively, approximately2100 and 12000. Current authorized methods for classification and identification of newmicrobial taxa are polyphasic ap...

The ontology of biological taxa

MOTIVATION The classification of biological entities in terms of species and taxa is an important endeavor in biology. Although a large amount of statements encoded in current biomedical ontologies is taxon-dependent there is no obvious or standard way for introducing taxon information into an integrative ontology architecture, supposedly because of ongoing controversies about the ontological n...

Supertree Algorithms for Nested Taxa

Most supertree algorithms combine collections of rooted phylogenetic trees with overlapping leaf sets into a single rooted phylogenetic tree. It is implicit in all these algorithms that the leaves of the rooted phylogenetic trees in the input collection, as a whole, represent non-nested taxa. Thus, for example, the “domestic dog” and “mammal” cannot be represented by two distinct leaves in such...
