Insights into Land Plant Evolution Garnered from the Marchantia polymorpha Genome

John L. Bowman, +118 more
- 05 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: Compared with other sequenced land plants, M. polymorpha exhibits low genetic redundancy in most regulatory pathways, with this portion of its genome resembling that predicted for the ancestral land plant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterns of morphological evolution of the cephalic region in damselfishes (Perciformes: Pomacentridae) of the Eastern Pacific

TL;DR: The cephalic profile of damselfishes contains a clear and strong phylogenetic signal and Phylogenetically adjusted regression reveals that head shape can be explained by differences in feeding habits.

A Molecular Approach to the Phylogeny of Bryophytes: Cladistic Analysis of Chloroplast-Encoded

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the usefulness of comparative molecular studies as a potential source of independent data to test and refine this phylogenetic hypothesis, and generate preliminary nucleotide sequence data from portions of the 16S and 23S ribosomal RNA genes in the chloroplasts of 11 bryophytes selected from diverse groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphometrics in the quantification of character state identity for the assessment of primary homology: an analysis of character variation of the genus Artibeus (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)

TL;DR: Cladistic analyses and descriptive indices of historical signals of previous molecular and morphological data, combined with morphometric data, showed that morphometric characters contain cladistic structure and they are phylogeneticaly useful.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ordinal Phylogeny within the Hypnobryalean Pleurocarpous Mosses Inferred from Cladistic Analyses of Three Chloroplast DNA Sequence Data Sets: trnL-F, rps4, and rbcL

TL;DR: Phylogenetic reconstructions based on molecular data emphasize the need for a re-examination of the taxonomic relevance of morphological characters and corroborate previous interpretations of sporophytic morphological similarities as multiple transitions to similar solutions to epiphytism among the pleurocarps.
