Species concepts, species boundaries and species identification: a view from the tropics.
The species has been treated as a fundamental unit in biology (Hull, 1977) and, more recently, in biodiversity conservation (Sites and Crandall, 1997). Almost all studies in biology, whether at the level of molecules, cells, individuals or populations, are typically referenced to the level of the species. In the field of conservation biology, assessments of biodiversity are made at the level of...
متن کاملA revision of Bromus sect. Triniusa (Poaceae) in Khorassan (Iran)
Bromus sect. Triniusa is revised in Khorassan based on the new taxonomic concepts of Bromus danthoniae complex group and a remarkable herbarium material collected from Khorassan (Kopetdagh, northeastern Iran), as the main center of its diversity. Bromus turcomanicus, a narrow endemic species in central Kopetdagh hitherto known only from the type locality in southern Turkmenistan, is newly recor...
متن کاملAn analysis of species boundaries and biogeographic patterns in a cryptic species complex: the rotifer--Brachionus plicatilis.
Since the advent of molecular phylogenetics, there is increasing evidence that many small aquatic and marine invertebrates--once believed to be single, cosmopolitan species--are in fact cryptic species complexes. Although the application of the biological species concept is central to the identification of species boundaries in these cryptic complexes, tests of reproductive isolation do not fre...
متن کاملOn the failure of modern species concepts.
The modern age of species concepts began in 1942, when Ernst Mayr gave concept names to several different approaches to species identification. A long list of species concepts then followed, as well as a complex literature on their merits, motivations and uses. Some of these complexities arose as a consequence of the semantic shift that Mayr introduced, in which procedures for identifying speci...
متن کاملThe current status of species recognition and identification in Aspergillus
The species recognition and identification of aspergilli and their teleomorphs is discussed. A historical overview of the taxonomic concepts starting with the monograph of Raper & Fennell (1965) is given. A list of taxa described since 2000 is provided. Physiological characters, particularly growth rates and the production of extrolites, often show differences that reflect phylogenetic species ...
