Download or read book Phylogeny and Character Evolution of Kielmeyeroideae (Clusiaceae) Based on Molecular and Morphological Data written by Christine Notis and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clusiaceae are a family of approximately 1000 species with a pantropical distribution. Based on a morphology-based cladistic analysis, the family has been divided into three subfamilies: Hypericoideae, Clusioideae, and Kielmeyeroideae. Kielmeyeroideae are divided into two tribes: Calophylleae, a large, pantropical tribe (ca. 450 spp), and Endodesmieae, a small, tropical African group (comprising the two monotypic genera Endodesmia and Lebrunia). Subfamilial assignment of Endodesmieae has been uncertain. Based on fruit characters, Endodesmieae are similar to Calophylleae; however, vegetatively, they are similar to Clusioideae. A previous family-level study based on rbcL sequences confirmed the monophyly of the three traditional subfamilies except that Clusiella, traditionally a member of Clusioideae, was placed in Kielmeyeroideae. Internal support for relationships within Kielmeyeroidae was weak, leaving it unclear as to which genera Clusiella is most closely related. Species of Endodesmieae were not included in the rbcL study. The present study determined the generic relationships within Kielmeyeroideae based on phylogenetic analysis of rbcL, matK, and ITS sequence data and morphological characters. Parsimony analyses were conducted on each molecular and morphological data set separately and combined. Bayesian and maximum likelihood analyses were performed on separate and combined molecular data sets. Sampling included several species of most genera of Calophylleae, as well as Clusiella and the enigmatic Endodesmia. The rbcL and matK data sets support the sister-group relationship of Endodesmia to the remaining Kielmeyeroideae and the sister-group relationship of Mammea to the rest of Calophylleae. Within the core Calophylleae (all Calophylleae except Mammea), the strictly New World genera (Kielmeyera, Caraipa, Haploclathra, Clusiella, Mahurea, Neotatea, and Marila) likely form a clade, and the primarily Old World genera (Kayea, Poeciloneuron, Mesua, and Calophyllum) constitute a second clade. All morphological characters are mapped onto a total evidence tree in order to infer their evolutionary pattern. Character state reconstructions of several noteworthy morphological characters, such as the presence/absence of latex cavities and canals, leaf arrangement, presence/absence of anther glands, carpel number, fruit type, and seed form are discussed in more detail. Putative morphological synapomorphies for each genus were determined, and a key to the genera of Kielmeyeroideae is provided.

Download or read book Biodiversity of Fungi written by Mercedes S. Foster and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-04-28 with total page 797 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biodiversity of Fungi is essential for anyone collecting and/or monitoring any fungi. Fascinating and beautiful, fungi are vital components of nearly all ecosystems and impact human health and our economy in a myriad of ways. Standardized methods for documenting diversity and distribution have been lacking. A wealth of information, especially regrading sampling protocols, compiled by an international team of fungal biologists, make Biodiversity of Fungi an incredible and fundamental resource for the study of organismal biodiversity. Chapters cover everything from what is a fungus, to maintaining and organizing a permanent study collection with associated databases; from protocols for sampling slime molds to insect associated fungi; from fungi growing on and in animals and plants to mushrooms and truffles. The chapters are arranged both ecologically and by sampling method rather than by taxonomic group for ease of use. The information presented here is intended for everyone interested in fungi, anyone who needs tools to study them in nature including naturalists, land managers, ecologists, mycologists, and even citizen scientists and sophiscated amateurs. - Covers all groups of fungi - from molds to mushrooms, even slime molds - Describes sampling protocols for many groups of fungi - Arranged by sampling method and ecology to coincide with users needs - Beautifully illustrated to document the range of fungi treated and techniques discussed - Natural history data are provided for each group of fungi to enable users to modify suggested protocols to meet their needs

Download or read book Diversity and Classification of Flowering Plants written by Armen Leonovich Takhtadzhi͡an and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culmination of more than fifty years of research by the foremost living expert on plant classification, Diversity and Classification of Flowering Plants is an important contribution to the field of plant taxonomy. In the last decade, the system of classifying plants has been thoroughly revised. Instead of describing every individual family, Takhtajan includes descriptions in keys to families, which he calls "descriptive keys." The advantage of descriptive keys is that they give both the characteristic features of the families and their differences. The delimitation of families and orders drastically differs from the one accepted by the Englerian school and from the one accepted in Arthur Cronquist's system. Takhtajan favors the smaller, more natural families and orders, which are more coherent and better-defined, where characters are easily grasped, and which are more suitable for information retrieval and phylogenetic studies, including cladistic analysis (because it reduces polymorphic codings).
