Biodiversity conservation: Does phylogeny matter?
To conserve biodiversity, it is necessary not only to maximize the number of taxa that are saved today, but also to guarantee the maintenance of high levels of biological diversity in the future. A recent analysis argues that, to achieve this, consideration of phylogeny is essential.
متن کاملPhylogeny of gazelles in some islands of Iran based on mtDNA sequences: Species identification and implications for conservation
Different species of gazelles are among the most endangered mammals on the Asian steppes and occur in the central, southern and northwestern regions of Iran. The previous conservation efforts in this region have been incomplete due to confusion about the phylogenetic relationship among various populations. So that, different conservation programs such as ex-situ breeding and transfer of captive...
متن کاملGenomewide function conservation and phylogeny in the Herpesviridae.
The Herpesviridae are a large group of well-characterized double-stranded DNA viruses for which many complete genome sequences have been determined. We have extracted protein sequences from all predicted open reading frames of 19 herpesvirus genomes. Sequence comparison and protein sequence clustering methods have been used to construct herpesvirus protein homologous families. This resulted in ...
متن کاملSirtuin/Sir2 phylogeny, evolutionary considerations and structural conservation.
The sirtuins are a protein family named after the first identified member, S. cerevisiae Sir2p. Sirtuins are protein deacetylases whose activity is dependent on NAD(+) as a cosubstrate. They are structurally defined by two central domains that together form a highly conserved catalytic center, which catalyzes the transfer of an acetyl moiety from acetyllysine to NAD(+), yielding nicotinamide, t...
متن کاملThe calculus of biodiversity: integrating phylogeny and conservation.
TREE vol. 15, no. 3 March 2000 Conclusions The strength of this workshop was in the exchange it promoted between new theory and new data. Both are allowing us not only to ask new questions, but also to return to old ones using tools that were not available to the contempories of Fisher, Haldane and Wright. It seems probable that progress in population genetics will continue apace with the rapid...
