Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences have been aligned and compared in a number of living
organisms, and this approach has provided a wealth of information about phylogenetic …

Phylogenetic relationships among the holometabolous insect orders were inferred from
cladistic analysis of nucleotide sequences of 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA)(85 exemplars) and …

This exciting new book describes the use of DNA fingerprinting and its application in a wide
area of plant and fungal research. It presents a thorough theoretical introduction to DNA …

DNA sequences for the gene encoding mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I in a group of
rodents (pocket gophers) and their ectoparasites (chewing lice) provide evidence for …

The suspension-feeding metazoan subkingdom Lophophorata exhibits characteristics of
both deuterostomes and protostomes. Because the morphology and embryology of …

The obvious first step in any systematics or population genetics study is to focus on a group
of organisms or a level of interest. We assume that these issues are self-explanatory and the …

The review of the data on karyology and DNA content in Acipenseriformes shows that both
extant families, the Polyodontidae and Acipenseridae, originated from a tetraploid ancestor …

Miscanthus is a promising non-food crop yielding high quality lignocellulosic material which
can be used in a number of ways, including energy and fibre production, thatching, and …

The evolutionary history of cnidarian life cycles has been debated since the 1880s, with
different hypotheses favored even by current textbooks. Contributing to the disagreement is …

Mitochondrial (mt) DNA sequences were analysed to resolve the phylogeography and
population genetic structure of Atlantic and Mediterranean populations of green turtles …
