Molecular differentiation of the Murraya paniculata Complex (Rutaceae: Aurantioideae: Aurantieae)

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Orange jasmine has a complex nomenclatural history and is now known as Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack. Our interest in this common ornamental stemmed from the need to resolve its identity and the identities of closely related taxa as hosts of ...

Inferring kangaroo phylogeny from incongruent nuclear and mitochondrial genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The marsupial genus Macropus includes three subgenera, the familiar large grazing kangaroos and wallaroos of M. (Macropus) and M. (Osphranter), as well as the smaller mixed grazing/browsing wallabies of M. (Notamacropus).

Monophyly of the genus Liopsetta (Pleuronectidae)

open access: yes, 2014
A phylogenetic analysis of 15 flatfish species based on 40 morphological characters was conducted to determine the interrelationships of the genera Liopsetta, Pleuronectes and Pseudopleuronectes. The results indicate that Liopsetta forms a monophyletic lineage defined by the reduction of the infraorbital sensory canal of the ocular side, small scale ...

Machine learning models accurately predict clades of proteocephalidean tapeworms (Onchoproteocephalidea) based on host and biogeographical data

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Proteocephalids are a cosmopolitan and diverse group of tapeworms (Cestoda) that have colonized vertebrate hosts in freshwater and terrestrial environments. Despite the ubiquity of the group, key macroevolutionary processes that have driven the group's evolution have yet to be identified.

On monospecific genera in prokaryotic taxonomy

open access: yesSynthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2017
A monospecific genus contains a single species ever since it was proposed. Though formally more than half of the known prokaryotic genera are monospecific, we pick up those which actually raise taxonomic problems by violating monophyly of the taxon ...

A new morphological phylogeny of Malacostraca comparing the application of character dependencies and implied weighting

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Using a new character matrix composed of revised matrices of previous analyses and new morphological findings, the phylogeny of Malacostraca (Pancrustacea) is analysed anew with 207 characters for 35 terminal taxa across all recognized orders. Particular emphasis was placed on methodological versatility, including different degrees of implied ...

Phylogeny of the Orangethroat Darter (Etheostoma spectabile) species complex in the Ozark Highlands of Arkansas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Darters are small, benthic fishes that live in freshwater rivers and streams and belong to the family Percidae. Pleistocene glaciations fragmented many darter species, resulting in speciation, but new species are often hard to detect if they are ...

If the tape were played again: convergent evolution of clade sizes and taxonomic composition in two tropical assemblages of Coleoptera

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Communities of insects around the world consist of unique sets of species that have evolved under different historical processes of assembly and lineage diversification. Whole‐community phylogenetics can partition the shared and uniquely derived evolutionary history across sites.
