Is it possible to use behavior characters for evolutionary reconstruction in marine invertebrates? A methodological approach using Ethokit logger
(2021-01-01)
The use of behavioral data is quite common in studies of chordate animals and some groups of arthropods; however, these data are usually used in ecological and conservation studies. Their use remains uncommon in phylogenetic ...
Contrasting phylogenetic signals and evolutionary rates in floral traits of Neotropical lianas
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2011)
The diversity of floral forms has long been considered a prime example of radiation through natural selection. However, little is still known about the evolution of floral traits, a critical piece of evidence for the ...
Evolution of the strikingly diverse submandibular muscles in Anura
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-02)
The most ventral muscles of the head (the mm. submentalis, intermandibularis, and interhyoideus) provide support to the gular region and lift the buccal floor during ventilation and feeding. These muscles show limited ...
Geographical distribution and ecological diversification of South American octodontid rodents
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2013-02)
Caviomorph rodents represent one of the most distinctive groups of mammals in southern South America drylands; they colonized South America from Africa via trans-oceanic dispersions in the Eocene (40-50 Ma) and underwent ...
Morphological divergence in a continental adaptive radiation: South American ovenbirds of the genus Cinclodes
(American Ornithologists’ Union, 2015)
Cinclodes is an ecologically diverse genus of South American passerine birds and represents a case of continental
adaptive radiation along multiple axes. We investigated morphological diversification in Cinclodes using ...
Phylogenetics, biogeography and character evolution in the Ornithocephalus clade (Orchidaceae, Oncidiinae)
(Oxford Univ Press, 2018-12-01)
The Ornithocephalus clade (OC) consists of small, epiphytic orchids from the Neotropics. Thirty-six species of the OC and ten outgroup taxa were investigated using nrITS sequences analysed using maximum parsimony, maximum ...
Resolution of deep nodes yields an improved backbone phylogeny and a new basal lineage to study early evolution of Asteraceae
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2014-11)
A backbone phylogeny that fully resolves all subfamily and deeper nodes of Asteraceae was constructed using 14 chloroplast DNA loci. The recently named genus Famatinanthus was found to be sister to the Mutisioideae-Asteroideae ...

Phylogeny of Lundia (Bignoniaceae) based on ndhF and PepC sequences
(INT ASSOC PLANT TAXONOMY-IAPTBRATISLAVA, 2012)
The circumscription of genera belonging to tribe Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae) has traditionally been complex, with only a few genera having stable circumscriptions in the various classification systems proposed for the tribe. ...
