TAXON, EarlyView.Abstract The post‐Miocene climatic history of arid environments in South America has been identified as a key driver of dispersal and diversification, particularly among plant groups such as Cactaceae. Despite their iconic status, many cactus genera remain poorly understood, and comprehensive taxonomic and systematic revisions using morphological and ...

The monophyly and the classification of the terrestrial isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea)
Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2020 In accordance with our previous opinions (Tabacaru and Danielopol, 1996, 1999; Tabacaru and Giurginca, 2014, 2019), we argue again the monophyly of Oniscidea one of the well-defined suborders of the Order Isopoda.

Origin and evolution of the slime molds (Mycetozoa) [PDF]
, 1997 The Mycetozoa include the cellular (dictyostelid), acellular (myxogastrid), and protostelid slime molds. However, available molecular data are in disagreement on both the monophyly and phylogenetic position of the group.

Systematics of Planchonella Pierre: The largest Sapotaceae genus in subfamily Chrysophylloideae
TAXON, EarlyView.Abstract Planchonella is the largest genus in subfamily Chrysophylloideae (Sapotaceae), believed to circumscribe about 110 species, occurring throughout tropical Asia, Australia, and Oceania, as well as the Seychelles and Hawaii. Previous studies have confirmed the monophyly of Planchonella but also identified problems such as species limits of the ...

Extended Distance-based Phylogenetic Analyses Applied to 3D Homo Fossil Skull Evolution [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 This article shows how 3D geometric morphometric data can be analyzed using newly developed distance-based evolutionary tree inference methods, with extensions to planar graphs. Application of these methods to 3D representations of the skullcap (calvaria) of 13 diverse skulls in the genus Homo, ranging from Homo erectus (ergaster) at about 1.6 mya, all

A New Genus of Miniaturized and Pug-Nosed Gecko from South America (Sphaerodactylidae: Gekkota) [PDF]
, 2011 Sphaerodactyl geckos comprise five genera distributed across Central and South America and the Caribbean. We estimated phylogenetic relationships among sphaerodactyl genera using both separate and combined analyses of seven nuclear genes.

TAXON, EarlyView.Abstract The Acanthaceae tribe Barlerieae is an understudied lineage that consists of ca. 500 species, many of which are rare and range restricted. Though understudied, it is clear that many species play vital roles in tropical ecosystems, including supporting a wide range of pollinators and herbivores. The tribe contains 13 genera, the two largest and
