The phylogeny of sleep

2011
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the study of living of phylogenetically ancient organisms such as insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and primitive mammals that give clues to the function of sleep. This phylogenetic approach toward investigating the origins of sleep has not been without controversy, and there is disagreement in the ...

Morphology and Phylogeny

Journal of the History of Biology, 2020
The concept that renders morphology a tool for phylogeny reconstruction is homology. The concept of homology is rooted in pre-evolutionary idealistic morphology. The claim that the goal of idealistic morphology was the seriability of form may sound paradoxical given that this discipline proceeded within a framework of strictly delimited types.

Phylogeny of cytotoxicity

Endeavour, 1980
Abstract The life of animals can be sustained only if the cellular environment can be closely controlled. Elaborate processes have, therefore, been evolved to detect and eliminate foreign material in the body, including tumour cells. An understanding of these processes is of great medical importance.

A PHYLOGENY OF THE BASIDIOMYCETES

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1955
Thirteen phylogenetic principles of general or mycologicai application are presented. Adherence to these principles makes it difficult to accept any starting point for the Basidiomycetes other than a primitive ascomycete very close to Taphrina and parasitic upon ancient ferns. From the ancestral basidiomycete one line led to the rusts and another, via

New Metrics for Phylogenies

Fundamenta Informaticae, 2007
In this paper we propose two new metrics defined on the space of phylogenetic trees. The problem of determining how distant two trees are from each other is crucial because many various methods exist for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from molecular data.

THE PHYLOGENY OF THE SALIENTIA

Biological Reviews, 1963
Summary1. The essentially recent skeletal patterns of fossil Salientia indicates that the evolutionary relationships of the order must continue to be assessed on evidence obtained chiefly from a study of recent forms.2. The morphology and morphogenesis of the more important criteria employed in taxonomic analyses are described.

Bayesian Phylogeny on Grid

2008
Grid computing defines the combination of computers or clusters of computers across networks, like the internet, to form a distributed supercomputer. This infrastructure allows scientists to process complex and time consuming computations in parallel on demand.

Phylogeny of Priapulida

Science, 1961
The systematic position of the small invertebrate group, Priapulida, is uncertain. In more recent publications they are classified usually as pseudocoelomates in the division Aschelminthes. A histological investigation of Priapulus caudatus , a widely distributed species, reveals the body cavity to be a coelom, its ...

A thousand plants’ phylogeny

Nature Plants, 2019
The One Thousand Plant Initiative analysed an unprecedented collection of >1,000 plant vegetative transcriptomes from species spanning the green tree of life, resolved controversial phylogenetic placements and highlighted gene family expansions and whole genome duplications that occurred during different stages of evolution.
