Systematic implications from a robust phylogenetic reconstruction of the genus Helianthemum (Cistaceae) based on genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) data

Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2021
Molecular systematics requires the establishment of a robust phylogenetic framework including extensive geographical and taxonomic sampling. In this work, we proposed systematic changes in the genus Helianthemum based on phylogenetic trees obtained by ...

Evaluation and utility of mitochondrial ribosomal genes for molecular systematics of parasitic nematodes

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Molecular advances have accelerated our understanding of nematode systematics and taxonomy. However, comparative analyzes between various genetic markers have led to discrepancies in nematode phylogenies.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the forest crested lizard, Calotes emma (Squamata, Agamidae) in China by the next generation sequencing

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
The whole mitogenome can prove useful tools for phylogenetic reconstruction and efficiently recover with reasonable taxon sampling. Calotes emma is widely distributed and arboreal in habits. However, studies of C.

The impact of W. Hennig's

European Journal of Entomology, 2001
Phylogenetic systematics comprise the principles and methods by which we reconstruct the evolutionary history (phylogeny) of organisms and transform this reconstruction into a biological classification of these organisms.

Phylogenetic analysis of skull shape evolution in marmotine squirrels using landmarks and thin-plate splines

Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 2000
<strong>Abstract</strong> Several studies have shown that the recently developed techniques of geometric morphometrics are extremely powerful descriptive tools. And yet, one potential use of the resulting descriptions, phylogenetic analysis,

Fungi inhabiting attine ant colonies: reassessment of the genus Escovopsis and description of Luteomyces and Sympodiorosea gens. nov.

IMA Fungus, 2021
Escovopsis is a diverse group of fungi, which are considered specialized parasites of the fungal cultivars of fungus-growing ants. The lack of a suitable taxonomic framework and phylogenetic inconsistencies have long hampered Escovopsis research. The aim
