CLADISTIC REAPPRAISAL OF NEOTROPICAL STENODERMATINE BAT PHYLOGENY

Abstract— Several phylogenies have been proposed for neotropical stenodermatine fruit-eating bats (Phyllostomidae), based on detention, external morphology, osteology and chromosomes. However, these previous analyses did not incorporate fully the idea that relationships should be identified based solely on shared derived characteristics. A critique of past methodology and results, and an alternative phylogeny using a morphological data set supplemented with karyotypic information, is presented. In my analysis, there appear two main lineages. The eight genera of white-shouldered bats form a monophyletic clade based on three synapomorphies (white patch of fur on shoulders, lack of a palatial extension with varying degrees of emargination and modified upper incisors); previous work suggested a paraphyletic relationship for this group. Furthermore, the monophyly of the four genera endemic to the Antilles is supported by two synapomorphies, suggesting a common origin as opposed to a multiple invasion for these genera. The appearance of the derived 2n = 30 and FN = 56 standard karyotype suggests that the morphologically distinct Sturnira forms the sister taxon to the remaining genera which are united by the synapomorphy of white facial stripes. This supports the inclusion of Sturnira within the stendodermatines and not in its own monotypic higher-level taxon. My results do not refute the traditional systematic view of Artibeus (including Dermanura, Koopmania and Enchisthenes ) being monophyletic, and supports Mesophylla and Vampyressa being distinct non-sister genera.     

珍珠菜属系统发育关系的初步研究

本文运用形态学性状对珍珠菜属（Lysimachia)进行系统发育分析。内类群包括珍珠菜属29个代表种以及珍珠菜族其它单种、寡种属;仙客来属（Cylclamen)被选作外类群。最简约性分析表明,珍珠菜属并不构成－自然分类群;在其严格一致化树的二岐分支中,异花珍珠菜（L.crispidens)单独构成一支,其它所有内类群构成一支。香草亚属（subgen.Idiophyton)、木黄连花亚属（subgne.Lysimachiopsis)以及珍珠菜亚属（subgen.palladia)均表现为单系群,而黄连花亚属（subgen.Lysimachia)则为一异形的并系群。球尾花亚属（subgen.Naumburgia)仍“内藏”于珍珠菜属的主体之中。而喉鳞花亚属（subgen.Seleucia)则偏离出来而与七瓣莲属（Trien talis)构成姐妹群。如何准确地界定珍珠菜属和进行属下分类群的划分,还需进一步研究。

裸藻类植物的分支系统学研究

本文选取了裸藻类的33个属级分类单位,以及它们的35个性状,利用分支系统学的原理和方法,对性状的演化极性进行了分析,同时对性状间的极性关系进行了和谐性分析,使性状间极性关系处在较为合理的状态,然后建立了分支分析的数据矩阵。应用徐克学建立的“演化极端结合法”进行微机运算．得简约系数远小于1(o．2159)的分支谱系图。根据分支诺系图对裸藻类的系统发育关系进行了探讨,井与已有的关于裸藻类分类系统和演化假设进行了比较。在此基础上按照裸藻类的亲缘关系及单系原则,对裸藻类的分类等级进行了划分,初步提出了建立1门1纲5目的分类系统。按照在分支谱系中的演化地位,认为裸藻属的5个亚属,明显地都应是独立的属。同时对裸藻类的共生起源与演化的关系也进行了讨论。     

A CLADISTIC ANALYSIS OF PARKIA (LEGUMINOSAE: MIMOSOIDEAE)

A cladistic analysis of the tropical mimosoid genus Parkia was undertaken to examine relationships among the 31 species and to test the monophyly of the three recognized sections. The implications of the cladogram to the evolution of bat-pollination and biogeography were also explored. The analysis, based on 52 morphological characters, resulted in 408 most parsimonious trees. A consensus tree supports the monophyly of sections Parkia and Platyparkia, but section Sphaeroparkia is paraphyletic. The latter section is distinguished by a capitulum of all fertile flowers, a plesiomorphic attribute in this analysis. Characters supporting the monophyly of section Platyparkia include an inflorescence with distal nectar flowers having exserted styles, and fruits with seeds in two rows. Section Parkia is characterized by having sterile basal flowers with nectar flowers just above them, and calyx lobes included in bud. Bat-pollination was mapped onto one of the most parsimonious cladograms to examine the evolution of pollination syndromes within the genus. Our phylogeny is consistent with a single origin of bat-pollination and indicates that entomophilous species of Parkia are basal rather than secondarily derived. Sections Platyparkia and Parkia are separate lineages within the bat-pollinated clade and have independently developed capitulum types adapted to chiropterophily. Characters that are associated with chiropterophily include specialized nectar-producing flowers and basifixed anthers. Several characters, including presence of a staminodial fringe, a nectar ring, and pollen with verrucate sculpturing on the exine, probably represent increasing specialization for bat-pollination. The cladogram supports a South American origin for Parkia but is not consistent with a Gondwanan vicariance event as is usually hypothesized to explain its amphi-Atlantic distribution.     

缘蝽科族级单元系统发育关系支序分析(半翅目:异翅亚目:缘蝽总科)

在已有比较形态学研究基础上,本文选择了15个特征方面（外生殖器为主）的74个新征,以支序分析方法探讨了缘蝽科族（或亚科）的系统发育关系。结果表明棒缘蝽亚科、希缘蝽族、沟缘蝽族较为原始,与其余类群差异较大,缘蝽科的范围值得进一步研究;除Chariesterini外的缘蝽亚科是高等的缘蝽类群;Chariesterini似应从缘蝽亚科中独立出来;狭义巨缘蝽族以及萧的鼻缘蝽族、梭缘蝽族、昧缘蝽族、曼缘蝽族成立;拟黛缘蝽属、副黛缘蝽属、华黛缘蝽属、异黛缘蝽属应从”黛缘蝽族”中分别独立出来成立新族,即拟黛缘蝽族、副黛缘蝽族、华黛缘蝽族和异黛缘蝽族,以使原有的黛缘蝽族成为自然类群。     

A CLADISTIC ANALYSIS OF CIRCAEA (ONAGRACEAE)

Abstract— Circaea (Onagraceae), a genus of seven species from the northern hemisphere, forms a monophylctic group defined by the following synapomorphies: two stamens (opposite the sepals), fruits indehiscent capsules, hooked hairs on the fruits, and perianth parts reduced to two. A cladistic analysis of the genus was performed using 22 characters from morphology, anatomy and palynology. The seven species and seven additional subspecies were considered the terminal taxa. Polarity of the characters is based on the outgroup comparison method. Eighteen equally parsimonious cladograms were produced, each with 32 steps and a consistency index of 0.75. A successive weighting procedure was applied, resulting in six cladograms with a consistency index of 0.95. All 24 cladograms share the following seven monophylctic groups: (1) all species except C. cordala and C. glabrescens (stipules deciduous); (2) the group of C. mollis , the three subspecies of C. lutetiana and C. erubescens (exsertcd nectary); (3) C. repens and all six subspecies of C. alpina (single-seeded fruits, stolons terminated by tubers, and viscin threads reduced or absent); (4) the six subspecies of C. alpina (unilocular ovaries with no trace of a second loculc and tardily opening perianth); (5) C. alpina subspecies alpina, micrantha, pacifica , and imaicola (flowers opening on ascending to erect pedicels); (6) C. alpina subspecies alpina, micrantha , and pacifica (translucent leaves); (7) C. alpina subspecies alpina and murantha (glabrous stems). Results of the cladistic analysis support most of the current systematic classification of the genus, except for the relationships among the three subspecies of C. lutetiana .

THE HIGHER CLASSIFICATION OF THE ORDER EMBIOPTERA: A CLADISTIC ANALYSIS

Abstract— A matrix of 41 Embiid taxa (representing the 8 formally recognized families of the Order) and 36 characters were cladistically analysed as a first attempt for understanding the higher classification of the Order Embioptera. The resulting trees were rooted with Clothodidae as the sister group of the other Embioptera. The results suggest that the current classification contains several artificial groups. With the rooting used, only Anisembiidae and Australembiidae are monophyletic. Embiidae is polyphyletic, as Australembiidae+ Notoligotomidae, Enveja (incertae sedis) and Oligotomidae+Teratembiidae appear within Embiidae, and the "embiid" Microembia appears within Notoligotomidae. Oligotomidae is paraphyletic in terms of Teratembiidae. Four of the genera included in the analysis are paraphyletic: Mesembia, Chelicerca (in terms of Dactylocerca and Pelorembia ), Aposthonia (in terms of Oligotoma ), and Metoligotoma (in terms of Australembia ). Pelorembia and Dactylocerca are synonymized with Chelicerca .

选择鳃虱科Bopyridae的47个形态学性状,利用PAUP软件,以支序分析方法对中国海域鳃虱科24属进行属间系统发育关系研究.支序分析结果较好地反映了鳃虱科内姐妹群的关系.根据分析结果,假鳃虱亚科中的巨鳃虱属Gigantione是鳃虱科中较早分出的一支,而背腹虱亚科中的仿腹虱属Parathelges和腹虱属Athelges则为较晚分化出来的;褐虾鳃虱亚科的褐虾鳃虱属Argeia盖腹虾鳃虱属Stegoalpheon和真虾鳃虱亚科的深海鳃虱属Bathygyge聚为一支,成为一对姐妹群;蟹鳃虱亚科的单系性得到分析结果的支持,假鳃虱亚科的单系性则不被支持.     

A CLADISTIC ANALYSIS OF ANGOPHORA CAV. (MYRTACEAE)

Abstract— A cladistie analysis of Angophora Cav. used a data set dominated by quantitative morphological characters. These were coded into multistates using Generalized Gap-Coding, and treated as ordered sequences of stales. The reasons for choosing an ordered over an unordered sequence are discussed. A branch and bound method yielded one minimal-length, unrooted tree. Because of uncertainty in the position of the root, five cladograms were derived from the unrooted tree. The consensus cladogram comprises four main clades. The consensus cladogram was used for a biogeographic study using component analysis, which generated a single statement of relationships for five areas of eastern Australia. An infra-generic classification of Angophora comprising four series corresponding to the four main clades, and two subseries, is presented. The following new names are published: Angophora series i>Floribundinae , series Subvelutininae , series Bakerinae . subseries Costntitac. Angophora leiocarpa : L. Johnson ex G. Leach) K. R. Thiele and P. Y. Ladiges and A.paludosa (G. Leach) K. R. Thiele and P. Y. Ladiges are published as new combinations.     

滇桐属系统位置的分支分析

本文以讨论系统位置有争议的滇桐属的归属问题,尝试在植物分类学中具体应用分支系统学原理和方法的可能性。作者认为近年来分支系统学中出现的一种倾向,即不再强调祖先和直接的谱系关系,而把分支图解仅仅作为一种归类手段,为本文提供了理论基础。通过对梧桐科和椴树科7个属15个性状状态的分支分析,建立了符合简约性原则的分支图解。分支图解表明,滇桐属与通常置于梧桐科的马克韦桐属具有较密切的关系,而它们与椴树科的关系比与梧桐科的关系更接近。结论支持把滇桐属作为椴树科成员的观点。     

运用分支系统学方法对逆珊瑚亚科的修订

运用分支系统学方法，考察有可能归入Ａｎｔｉｐｈｙｌｌｉｎａｅ亚科的各属。根据个体发育极向标准对选取的７个性状进行分析，这７个性状为：主隔壁的长短，主内沟的形状和大小，对隔壁的长短和加厚程度，侧隔壁的长度，一级隔壁的排列，一级隔壁从轴部退缩程度，轴部构造等。据以上各性状在每个属中的表现编制出性状极向数据矩阵，输入计算机运算，得到分支图。并得到以下结果：ＡｎｔｉｐｈｙｌｌｉｎａｅＩｌｉｎａ应包括下列１０属：ＡｃｔｉｎｏｐｈｒｅｎｔｉｓＩｖａｎｏｗｓｋｉ，１９６７；ＦａｌｓｉａｍｐｌｅｘｕｓＦｅｄｏｒｏｗｓｋｉ，１９８７；ＬｏｎｇｉｃｌａｖａＥａｓｔｏｎ，１９６２；ＬｙｔｖｏｌａｓｍａＳｏｓｈｋｉｎａ，１９２５：ＮｅｏｚａｐｈｒｅｎｌｉｓＧｒｏｖｅ，１９３５；ＭｏｎｏｐｈｙｌｌｕｍＦｏｍｉｃｈｅｖ，１９５３：ＦａｓｃｉｃｕｌｏｐｈｙｌｌｕｍＴｈｏｍｓｏｎ．１８８３：ＢｒａｄｙｐｈｙｌｌｕｍＧｒａｂａｕ．１９２８：ＲｏｔｉｐｈｙｌｌｕｍＨｕｄｓｏｎ，１９４２；ＣｌａｖｉｐｈｙｌｌｕｍＨｕｄｓｏｎ，１９４２。     

THE PLEURASTROPHYCEAE AND MICROMONADOPHYCEAE: A CLADISTIC ANALYSIS OF NUCLEAR rRNA SEQUENCE DATA1

Partial sequences from the nuclear-encoded 18S and 26S ribosomal RNA molecules from representatives of the five classes of Chlorophyta sensu Mattox and Stewart (1984) were analyzed cladistically in a study of the phylogenetic relationships among the Micromonadophyceae, Pleurastrophyceae, and other green algae. The sequence data indicate that the Micromonadophyceae (= Prasinophyceae) is not monophyletic but comprises at least three lineages occupying a basal position among the green algae. Though the Pleurastrophyceae and the Ulvophyceae both possess counter-clockwise basal body orientations, the sequence data indicate that the Pleurastrophyceae is the sister group to the Chlorophyceae. The molecular data alone do not resolve the monophyly of the Pleurastrophyceae or the Ulvophyceae; however, a combined data set of molecular and non-molecular characters support a monophyletic Pleurastrophyceae. Analyses with user-defined tree topologies and the bootstrap method of character resampling indicate that the relationships shown in the most parasimonious cladograms are well supported by the character data.     

CLADISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE OCTOPODS BASED ON ANATOMICAL CHARACTERS

Parsimony analysis of 29 finned and finless octopod taxa considered66 anatomical and morphological characters to discover synapomorphiesthat unite monophyletic groups. The resultant cladogram (177equally parsimonious trees at 191 steps, CI 0.429) resolvedall relationships except those among the 16 exemplars of theOctopodidae included and those among Tremoctopus, Ocythoe andArgonauta. Bootstrap values of over 90% support the monophylyof the finned and finless octopods, relationships among thefinned octopods, the bolitaenids and the monophyly of Haliphron,Tremoctopus, Ocythoe and Argonauta; bootstrap values for othernodes range from 57 to 79%. Among finned octopods, specimensrepresenting Grimpoteuthis are basal, as Voss (1988a) suggested.Specimens of Opisthoteuthis represent a distinct lineage, andare sister taxon, in this analysis, of Cirroteuthis (althoughspecimens of Stauroteuthis could not be included). New definitionsof the genera Opisthoteuthis and Grimpoteuthis are providedto reflect their separate evolutionary histories rather thantheir overt morphological similarity. Among finless octopods,bolitaenids are basal. The monophyletic Octopodidae is the sistertaxon to the clade containing the sister taxa Vitreledonellaand Amphitretus, and Haliphron, Tremoctopus, Ocythoe and Argonauta.The Ctenoglossa and Heteroglossa, families grouped by sharedradular dentition, are diphyletic and paraphyletic, respectively.The cladistic relationships demonstrate that both the Vitrele-donellidaeand Idioctopodidae are junior synonyms of the Amphitretidae;despite conspicuous morphological differences separating thesetaxa, they share a recent evolutionary history.     

A CLADISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE FAMILY TRISTIRIDAE (ORTHOPTERA, ACRIDOIDEA)

Abstract— A cladistic analysis of the endemic South American family Tristiridae was performed using 29 characters from external morphology and the genitalia. Polarity of characters was based on the outgroup comparison method. One most parsimonious cladogram of 54 steps was obtained, from which a classification of the family Tristiridae was constructed. The analysis of phylogenetic relationships showed that the different kinds of characters define taxa at different levels in the cladogram. Those mostly from the phallic complex define suprageneric taxa while those from external morphology characterize genera. It is hypothesized that in Tristiridae differentiation of the phallic complex preceded differentiation of external morphology and that characters from the phallic complex arc less conservative than those from the external morphology.     

我国淡水鱼类粘孢子虫的支序分类学研究

本研究选取15个主要特征对我国淡水鱼类23属粘孢子虫的支序分类进行了分析.结果表明,根据这15个特征构建的经典分支系统树与现有分类系统较为一致;而许多被分子系统学证明有争议的特征,如尾孢虫的尾突,孢子和极囊的形状等在研究粘孢子虫的系谱发育中仍然有着重要作用,剔除了上述特征的分支系统树与经典的分支系统树相比,存在许多缺陷.嗜碘泡是区分粘体虫和碘泡虫的主要特征,然而剔除嗜碘泡特征的分支系统树与经典的分支系统树区别不大,因此,我们建议在这一方面和国际学术界统一起来,即不再把嗜碘泡作为区分碘泡虫和粘体虫的主要特征.
