Topic: Subtribe (biology)


  
  BioMed Central | Full text | Molecular phylogeny of Subtribe Artemisiinae (Asteraceae), including Artemisia and its ...
The goals are (1) to test the monophyly of Subtribe Artemisiinae and the Artemisia-group; (2) determine the phylogenetic placements of the segregate and allied genera in relation to Artemisia s.s.; and (3) evaluate the patterns of diversification and test biogeographic hypotheses and evolutionary trends in capitular and floral morphology in the Artemisia-group [49,50].
The closest sister genera to Subtribe Artemisiinae are Nipponanthemum and Leucanthemella (Subtribe Leucantheminae).
An ITS phylogeny of Subtribe Leucantheminae [71] also excluded these two genera from that subtribe, which is otherwise Mediterranean in distribution, congruent with a chloroplast phylogeny based on ndhF for the entire tribe [64].

Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210.
A molecular phylogenetic study of subtribe Coreopsidinae was conducted using ITS sequences from 18 genera traditionally placed in the subtribe.
Prior investigations of the subtribe have included grouping genera to reflect relationships and cladistic analyses of morphological characters; certain results of the present study are concordant with previous studies whereas in other instances sharply different relationships are portrayed.

 Biotechnology - Soybean as a crop
The soybean is a papilionoid legume (family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae), and a member of the tribe Phaseoleae, subtribe Glycininae.
The subtribe to which soybean belongs consists of 16 genera, none of which, save for soybean (Glycine) and kudzu (Pueraria), are commonly known outside of botanical science.
The genus Glycine is unique within the subtribe on several morphological and chromosomal characters, and does not seem to bear an especially intimate relationship with any other genus in the subtribe (Lackey, 1977).

- Pollen morphology and phylogeny in Euphorbiaceae, subtribe Flueggeinae.
The affinities and delimitation of four closely related genera of Euphorbiaceae subtribe Flueggeinae-- Breynia, Glochidion, Phyllanthus, and Sauropus-- are examined by SEM observations (supplemented by LM) on pollen of 35 species, mostly belonging to the primarily paleotropical subgenera of Phyllanthus: Emblica, Eriococcus, and Phyllanthodendron.
The plesiomorphic condition in this clade within subtribe Flueggeinae appears to be that found in subgenus Emblica: prolate, 4-colporate grains with reticulate exine; pollen grains in subgenus Phyllanthodendron are 5-6-colporate, in subgenus Eriococcus pantoporate.

 Symposium 1
The symposium is an opportunity for students and faculty to gain exposure to graduate student research in ecology, evolution, and related fields.Participation and attendance is encouraged from anyone working in ecology, evolutionary biology, behavior, conservation, environmental sciences, fisheries and wildlife biology, systematics, biogeography, modeling and other related fields.
The fundamental goal of this organization is to coordinate and unify the many graduate students in ecology and evolutionary biology on campus.
This organization is affiliated with the new Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (PEEB) that is currently being developed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

A "Gutierrezia lineage" composed of genera producing small, turbinate achenes and basally indurate phyllaries occupies the basal position within the subtribe.
An "Ericameria lineage"-an anomalous cluster of perennial shrubs (Ericameria) and annual herbs (Pentachaeta, Rigiopappus, Tracyina) is explicitly placed in the subtribe for the first time.
The largest of the subgroups is the "Solidago lineage"-composed of a primarily herbaceous group (Solidago and close relatives) and a primarily woody one (Chrysothamnus and close relatives).

I am working in collaboration with Dr. Nancy Simmons on the phylogenetic relationships and biogeography of a subtribe of stenodermatine bats known as “short-faced bats” (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) based on morphological characters and data from the literature on karyological and molecular characters.
I intend to use morphological and ecological data to provide a detailed study of the evolutionary radiation and aspects of the biogeography of this group of bats.

To understand the broader significance of such processes in the evolution of groups of closely related species, it is necessary that more cases of putative recent radiation and hybridization be explored in complex plant groups in a phylogenetic framework.
Phylogenetic analyses suggest that the large genus Castilleja, in which the majority of species are perennial, has evolved from a grade of annual taxa represented by the remaining genera comprising subtribe Castillejinae (Orobanchaceae).
This is in contrast to the view that annuals are derived from perennial ancestors.

In biology, the Author of the scientific name of a taxon is the person or team who first makes the name available by using it in a scientific publication with a description of the taxon to which it applies.
The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature recognises three groups of taxa for which names can be authored:
the Family Group, covering taxa at the ranks of superfamily, family, subfamily, tribe, subtribe, and any other rank below superfamily and above genus

 The ID Update
Everyone in biology keeps predicting that the next few years will bring answers to some of the major open questions in evolutionary biology, but there seems to be disagreement on what, exactly, those questions are.
The discovery involves an extinct worker stingless bee (Meliorchis caribea) preserved in Dominican amber that carries an orchid pollinarium (the male reproductive structure that is transferred as a single unit during pollination).
However, on the basis that the "rate of orchid evolution" exhibited by the subtribe Goodyerinae is almost zero, the comment of the lead author is probably correct: "The dinosaurs could have walked among orchids".
