The phylogenetic relationship among the salmonid fishes of the genus Oncorhynchus has been analyzed using various kinds of markers for a long time. However, there are three major disagreements among those studies; (1) the authenticity of the Pacific salmon group as a monophyletic cluster, (2) the phylogenetic relationship among three Pacific salmons (pink salmon, sockeye salmon, and chum salmon...

The phylogenetic relationship of five sturgeon species in the South Caspian Sea was investigated using mtDNA molecule. Sequence analysis of mtDNA D-loop region of five sturgeon species [Great sturgeon (Huso huso), Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus), Ship sturgeon (Acipenser nudiventris), Stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus)] and DNA sequencing...

The Spectranomics approach to tropical forest remote sensing has established a link between foliar reflectance spectra and the phylogenetic composition of tropical canopy tree communities vis-à-vis the taxonomic organization of biochemical trait variation. However, a direct relationship between phylogenetic affiliation and foliar reflectance spectra of species has not been established. We sough...
