Inferring evolutionary processes from phylogenies

Mark Pagel · 1 Oct 1997

Evolutionary processes shape the regular trends of evolution and are responsible for the diversity and distribution of contemporary species. They include correlated evolutionary change and trajectories of trait evolution, convergent and parallel evolution, differential rates of evolution, speciation and extinction, the order and direction of change in characters, and the nature of the evolutionary process…

Cladistics and polychaetes

Greg W. Rouse, Kristian Fauchald · 1 Apr 1997

A series of cladistic analyses assesses the status and membership of the taxon Polychaeta. The available literature, and a review by Fauchald & Rouse (1997), on the 80 accepted families of the Polychaeta are used to develop characters and data matrices. As well as the polychaete families, non‐polychaete taxa, such as the Echiura, Euarthropoda, Onychophora,…

Mecoptera is paraphyletic: multiple genes and phylogeny of Mecoptera and Siphonaptera

Michael F. Whiting · 1 Feb 2002

Phylogenetic relationships among members of the Mecoptera and Siphonaptera were inferred from DNA sequence data. Four loci (18S and 28S ribosomal DNA, cytochrome oxidase II and elongation factor‐1α) were sequenced for 69 taxa selected to represent major flea and mecopteran lineages. Phylogenetic analyses of these data support a paraphyletic Mecoptera with two major lineages: Nannochoristidae…

Polychaete systematics: Past and present

Kristian Fauchald, Greg W. Rouse · 1 Apr 1997

In this paper, we first demonstrate the historical background for the current unsatisfactory state of systematics of the polychaetes. We then briefly discuss our knowledge of internal and external structures. A review of the polychaete families makes up the third section; 81 families are treated in detail. Five families have been recently synonymized with others,…

A new molecular phylogeny offers hope for a stable family level classification of the Noctuoidea (Lepidoptera)

Reza Zahiri, Ian J. Kitching, J. Donald Lafontaine et al. · 22 Oct 2010

Zahiri, R., Kitching, I. J., Lafontaine, J. D., Mutanen, M., Kaila, L., Holloway, J. D. & Wahlberg, N. (2010). A new molecular phylogeny offers hope for a stable family level classification of the Noctuoidea (Lepidoptera). — Zoologica Scripta , 40 , 158–173. To examine the higher level phylogeny and evolutionary affinities of the megadiverse superfamily…
