By Angela E. Newton, Raymond S. Tangney
The shift from conventional taxonomic tips on how to data-oriented, analytical cladistic methodologies has ended in a greater figuring out of organic strategies and extra actual classifications for a variety of organisms, together with mosses. Pleurocarpous Mosses: Systematics and Evolution explores the influence of those equipment via fresh breakthroughs in examine at the evolution and phylogeny of pleurocarpous mosses. This ebook emphasizes using state-of-the-art analytical equipment, morphological characters, and using morphological and molecular information in systematics. It investigates the interrelationships inside of quite a few moss households during which pleurocarpous morphology seems to be and their similar taxa. The authors research higher-level relationships to build the spine phylogeny of the gang and arrange kin inside subgroups. They current new effects derived from molecular information, phylogenetic analyses, and quite a few analytical tools used to judge the techniques of morphological evolution, together with development styles, leaf constitution, and different morphological positive aspects. the ultimate chapters discover the fossil heritage of pleurocarpous mosses and speak about a proposed timeline for the evolution of severe nodes. additionally they deal with wider evolutionary questions appropriate to the starting place and upkeep of species range. as well as upgrading the present wisdom of this complicated workforce of organisms, Pleurocarpous Mosses: Systematics and Evolution additionally increases the criteria of research and provides a paradigm for resolving phylogenetic relationships and classifying lesser-known taxonomic teams.

Sample text
Hedenäs’ (1994) morphological dataset produced a consensus tree with Aulacomnium nested within a paraphyletic group of six genera of Rhizogoniaceae. The consensus MPT from a combined 18S rRNA–rbcL–rps4–trnL dataset assembled by Cox et al. (2000) positions Aulacomnium in a polytomy that includes the rhizogonian genus Pyrrhobryum and the pleurocarpous genera Racopilum, Hypnodendron and Bescherellia, but excludes the Hypnidae sampled. While these more recent studies suggest a close relationship of Aulacomnium and Rhizogoniaceae, their taxon sampling did not permit a clear assessment.
