Phylogenetic analysis of some basal early Cambrian trilobites, the biogeographic origins of the Eutrilobita, and the timing of the Cambrian radiation
Journal of Paleontology ; ABSTRACT-This paper presents a phylogenetic analysis of the "Fallotaspidoidea," a determination of the biogeographic origins of the eutrilobites, and an evaluation of the timing of the Cambrian radiation based on biogeographic evidence. Phylogenetic analysis incorporated 29 exoskeletal characters
Phylogenetic Analysis of 5'-Noncoding Regions From the ABA-Responsive rab16/17 Gene Family of Sorghum, Maize and Rice Provides Insight Into the Composition, Organization and Function of cis-Regulatory Modules
Genetics ; ABSTRACT Phylogenetic analysis of sequences from gene families and homologous genes from species of varying divergence can be used to identify conserved noncoding regulatory elements. In this study, phylogenetic analysis of 5'-noncoding sequences was optimized using rab17, a well-characterized
The comparative method, hypothesis testing & Phylogenetic analysis: An introductory laboratory
The American Biology Teacher ; Textbook discussions of scientific methodology often focus almost exclusively upon controlled experiments, but biologists also use many non-experimental techniques for testing hypotheses. Particularly important are the comparative methods developed for phylogenetic analysis by biologists who study
Cleorodes Warren, 1894 does not belong in the tribe Boarmiini (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
European Journal of Entomology ; Key words. Taxonomy, morphology, molecular phylogeny, direct optimisation, Geometridae, Ennominae, Gnophini, Boarmiini, Bistonini, Cleorodes lichenaria Abstract. The geometrid genus Cleorodes is shown to belong in the tribe Gnophini (sensu lato) and not in Boarmiini as previously assumed. The

New Record and Phylogenetic Analysis of Anthomyia pluvialus in Nova Scotia
Northeastern Naturalist ; Abstract - In July 1999, unusually high trap success was recorded for a species of fly in the genus Anthomyia in Grand Pr, Nova Scotia. The fly was identified morphologically as A. pluvialis L., which has not been reported previously from mainland Nova Scotia. Some members of the genus Anthomyia
