The Pleurotus eryngii species complex comprises at least five varieties: eryngii, ferulae, elaeoselini, nebrodensis and tingitanus . This species is unique among the genus Pleurotus because in nature it is found in association with specific members of the Umbelliferae and Compos…
The Miocene to Pliocene fossil record of the Siwalik Hills in Pakistan yields abundant material of hipparionine equids. This material has been intensively investigated over the last 150 years, but previous reports did not include precise stratigraphic and paleomagnetic data as w…
Lentinoid and Pleurotoid mushrooms (Polyporales and Agaricales) from South East Asia are well known for their edibility. However, taxonomic and genetic diversity of both groups are not well represented especially in Borneo. This study revealed the diversity of lentinoid ( Lentin…
The phylogeny, biogeography, population genetics and taxonomy of Labeobarbus (Cyprinidae), a genus of large hexaploid minnows, was estimated by a variety of phylogenetic and population genetics methods. In Chapter 2 relationships among species of large barbine minnows was examin…
A comparative approach was used to investigate life-history variation and evolution in tropical pioneer trees of the genus Macaranga (Euphorbiaceae). Ecological studies, conducted from 1991-1994 in Lambir Hills National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia, were used to investigate the relat…

"Nearly 300 clades - lineages of organisms - will be defined by reference to hypotheses of phylogenetic history rather than by taxonomic ranks and types. This volume will document the Real World uses of PhyloCode and will govern and apply to the names of clades, while species na…

Phylogenomics: A Primer is for advanced undergraduate and graduate biology students studying molecular biology, comparative biology, evolution, genomics, and biodiversity. It explores the origins of organic life on the planet, examines the use of scientific databases to understa…
A new system for organizing and classifying living organisms. A phylogenetic code of biological nomenclature. "This book will govern the names of clades, while species names will still be governed by traditional codes. PhyloCode is designed so that it can be used concurrently w…
"This book will govern the names of clades, while species names will still be governed by traditional codes. PhyloCode is designed so that it can be used concurrently with the rankbased codes. It is not meant not to replace existing systems but to provide an alternative system f…
