Monophyly or paraphyly--the taxonomy of Holcoglossum (Aeridinae: Orchidaceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Recently, there have been a lot of intense debates about the acceptance/rejection of paraphyletic groups in biological classification. On the one hand, evolutionary classification states that similarity and common descent are two criteria for biological ...

Molecules, morphology, and the monophyly of diapsid reptiles [PDF]
Contributions to Zoology, 2001 The morphological and molecular evidence for higher-level reptile relationships is reassessed. A combined analysis of 176 osteological, 40 soft anatomical, and 2903 (1783 aligned) molecular characters in 28 amniote taxa yields the traditional reptile tree.

ANOTHER MONOPHYLY INDEX: REVISITING THE JACKKNIFE [PDF]
Cladistics, 1995 Abstract — Randomization routines have quickly gained wide usage in phylogenetic systematies. Introduced a decade ago, the jackknife has rarely been applied in cladistic methodology. This data resampling technique was re‐investigated here as a means to discover the effect that taxon removal may have on the stability of the results obtained from ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract The Hyaenodonta were the most diverse carnivorous mammals in the European Eocene and were classically divided into three subfamilies: Sinopaninae, Arfianinae, and Proviverrinae, with this latter being the most successful of the three, as it exhibited a much larger geographic and temporal range.

Acid digestion and symbiont: Proton sharing at the origin of mitochondriogenesis?
BioEssays, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 ADMit hypothesis for the origin of eukaryotes. A bacterial symbiont became associated with a protophagocytic host that captured prey with membrane processes. The symbiont cooperated to kill and digest the prey with reactive oxygen species and the acidification of the microenvironment.

Endosymbiotic ratchet accelerates divergence after organelle origin
BioEssays, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Primary endosymbiosis gave rise to mitochondria and plastids. The proximate impacts of organelle origin on lineage evolution have not been addressed at the population level. Using data from the photosynthetic amoeba Paulinella, we hypothesize that primary endosymbiosis accelerates lineage divergence, a process we refer to as the endosymbiotic ratchet ...

Nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene for phylogeny of some species of Rodentia
Bioscience Journal, 2023 Order Rodentia contains approximately half of all living mammalian species. Most of the living species diversity within rodents is within five monophyletic radiations: Hystricognathi, Sciuridae, Geomyoidea, Dipodidae, and Muroidea.
