  2. 1. Spikemoss patterns : Systematics and historical biogeography of Selaginellaceae

    Author : Stina Weststrand; Petra Korall; Michael J. Donoghue; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; classification; historical biogeography; lycophytes; nomenclature; phylogeny; Selaginella; Selaginellaceae; systematics; fylogeni; historisk biogeografi; klassifikation; lummerväxter; nomenklatur; Selaginella; Selaginellaceae; systematik; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik; Biology with specialization in Systematics;

    Abstract : Selaginellaceae, spikemosses, is a heterosporous plant family belonging to the lycophytes. With an estimated age of some 350 million years, the family is historically important as one of the oldest known groups of vascular plants. Selaginellaceae is herbaceous with a worldwide distribution. However, the majority of the ca. READ MORE

  4. 2. Reticulate Evolution in Diphasiastrum (Lycopodiaceae)

    Author : Sunniva Margrethe Due Aagaard; Niklas Wikström; Tom A. Ranker; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; admixture analysis; Bayesian clustering; Diphasiastrum; Feulgen DNA image densitometry; homoploid hybridization; Lycopodiaceae; phylogenetic analysis; polyploidy; reticulate evolution; Systematics and phylogenetics; Systematik och fylogeni; systematisk botanik; Systematic Botany;

    Abstract : In this thesis relationships and the occurrence of reticulate evolutionary events in the club moss genus Diphasiastrum are investigated. Diphasiastrum is initially established as a monophyletic group within Lycopodiaceae using non recombinant chloroplast sequence data. READ MORE

  5. 3. Taxonomy and Reticulate Phylogeny of Heliosperma and Related Genera (Sileneae, Caryophyllaceae)

    Author : Božo Frajman; Bengt Oxelman; Mats Thulin; Christian Brochmann; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sileneae; Silene; Heliosperma; Atocion; Viscaria; taxonomy; phylogenetics; relative dating; reticulate evolution; chloroplast capture; homoploid hybridisation; BEAST; r8s; PATHd8; Prometheus; RPA2; RPB2; RPD2a; RPD2b; Balkan Peninsula; endemics; Systematics and phylogenetics; Systematik och fylogeni;

    Abstract : Heliosperma (nom. cons prop.) comprises 15—20 taxa, most of them endemic to the Balkan Peninsula. DNA sequences from the chloroplast (rps16 intron, psbE-petG spacer) and the nuclear genome (ITS and four putatively unlinked RNA polymerase genes) are used to elucidate phylogenetic relationships within Heliosperma, and its position within Sileneae.

  6. 4. Controversies over taxonomic and nomenclatural instability: an empirical approach

    Author : George Sangster; Per Ericson; Mikael Thollesson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Abstract : Taxonomic names serve two important functions: they reflect hypotheses about the existence of taxa, and they serve as the primary means to communicate about biodiversity. The dual purpose of names is a source of conflict and misunderstanding among taxonomists and end-users of taxonomy. READ MORE

  7. 5. Climbing the Trichoptera Tree : Investigations of Branches and Leaves

    Author : Tobias Malm; Kjell Arne Johanson; Wolfram Mey; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Trichoptera; Leptoceridae; Symphitoneuria; Gracilipsodes; Triplectides; morphology; DNA; systematics; phylogeny; New Caledonia; Madagascar; new species; new genus; Systematics and phylogenetics; Systematik och fylogeni; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Abstract : The Trichoptera (caddisflies) is the largest of the primary aquatic insect orders, currently including more than 13,500 species. With more than 100 species new to science described annually, the known caddisfly diversity is rapidly increasing. In the first four papers of this Thesis, a total of 22 species new to science are described. READ MORE
