Phylogenetics, systematics, and biogeography deal with the identifying, classifying, and understanding the relationships among organisms, including their geographical extent. Methods range from ...

Lauraceae, a globally significant woody plant family, encompasses ecologically critical and economically valuable species ...

Hence, although a TE phylogeny corresponds to a gene tree and need not reflect species phylogeny, the evolutionary histories of the TEs and of their hosts are tightly linked, and will need to be ...

A phylogeny is a hypothetical reconstruction of the evolutionary relationships of a group of organisms or a set of sequences (nucleotide or amino acid). Phylogenies are often represented ...

Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza National University researchers conducted a genomic analysis of fine aroma cocoa from northern Peru, uncovering genetic divergence and evolutionary patterns within ...

based on new understanding of plant families made possible by molecular systematics (genetic research). Kew scientists were instrumental in the development of the new system, which is based on the ...

The biochemistry bachelor’s degree focuses on the chemistry of living things to prepare you to address current challenges facing the chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, forensic, and ...

Passiflora or passion flower is a genus of more than 550 species which are members of the Passifloraceae family. The genus, which contains vines, lianas, shrubs and trees, is predominantly distributed ...

In this important study, the authors reconstruct the evolutionary history of a large and widespread group of freshwater fishes (Nemacheilidae) across Eurasia since the early Eocene, based on molecular ...

Historic Aerial Imagery & Remnant Oak Ecosystems This map application shows imagery captured in 1938-1939 overlaid with Oak Ecosystems from 1939 (red) and remnant oaks still present in 2010 (orange).

Biologists of many different subdisciplines categorize life in a field called systematics. Living things of all sorts, both extant and extinct, are constantly being compared and evaluated to build ...

Our faculty, students and researchers travel the world to conduct research in ecology and evolution. Learn more about their experiences and stories in our In the Field articles. Ecology and ...
