Morphological evolution in the variable resin-producing Detarieae (Fabaceae): do morphological characters retain a phylogenetic signal?
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Previous molecular phylogenetic studies disagree with the informal generic-level taxonomic groups based on morphology. In this study morphological characters in the caesalpinioid clade Detarieae are evaluated within a phylogenetic framework as a means of better understanding phylogenetic relationships and morphological evolution. METHODS Morphological characters were obser...
متن کاملCharacters as groups: a new approach to morphological characters in phylogenetic analysis
Morphological characters remain an essential tool for phylogenetic studies, even in the current age of molecular systematics (Scotland & al., 2003; Jenner, 2004; Wiens 2004; Smith & Turner, 2005; Lee, 2006). Consequently, the reliability and validity of the methods used to identify characters and define character states is highly relevant to systematics research. Although identifying appropriat...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Status and Morphological Characters of Rhabditolaimus anoplophorae (Rhabditida: Diplogastridae).
Rhabditolaimus anoplophorae Kanzaki and Futai was re-isolated from its type host (carrier), the cerambycid beetle Anoplophora malasiaca, collected in an experimental field of the Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan. The nematode was cultured on nematode growth medium plates seeded with Escherichia coli OP50, and its morphological characters and molecular pro...
متن کاملMorphological adaptation influences the evolution of a mating signal.
Theory predicts that forces of natural selection can reduce the intensity of sexually selected traits. In this study, I investigate how morphological adaptation to feeding ecology influences a mating signal. In birds, changes in feeding ecology can cause rapid divergence in bill morphology. Because bills are also important for song production, feeding ecology may influence song divergence. Duri...
متن کاملtaxonomic study the tribe of vicieae (fabaceae) based on morphological characters in khorassan provinces
this project was conducted to study the taxonomy of tribe vicieae based on morphological characters. the specimens were collected from different parts of khorassan, and after identification they were preserved at ferdowsi university of mashhad herbarium (fumh). diagnostic keys and a complete list of distribution regions for all species of this tribe in khorassan were presented. cicer kermanense...
