Phylogenetic Analysis of the Ecological Correlates of Dioecy in Angiosperms
Phylogenetic analysis of the ecological correlates of dioecy in angiosperms J. C. VAMOSI,* S. P. OTTO, &S.C.H.BARRETT* *Department of Botany, University of Toronto, Toronto ON Canada, Canada Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC Canada, Canada Keywords: Abstract correction for phylogeny; We report on a phylogenetic analysis of correlations between the occurrence dioecy; of dioecy and several ecological and life-history attributes: tropical distribu- Discrete; tion, woody growth form, abiotic pollination, small inconspicuous flowers and ecological correlates; inflorescences, many-flowered inflorescences and fleshy fruits. Various hypo- life-history correlates; theses have been proposed to explain why associations occur between dioecy maximum-likelihood; and several of these attributes, yet most assume that dioecy originates more plant sexual systems. often in clades with these traits than in clades with alternative character states. To investigate correlations between dioecy and these attributes, and to provide insights into the potential evolutionary pathways that have led to these associations, we assigned states of these traits to genera on a large-scale molecular phylogeny of the angiosperms; we then used maximum-likelihood analysis to analyse the presence of correlations and the sequence of acquisition of traits. Phylogenetic analysis revealed correlations between dioecy and six of the seven attributes; only many-flowered inflorescences exhibiting no associ- ation with the dioecious condition. The particular correlations that were revealed and the strength of the association differed among the three main monophyletic groups of angiosperms (Rosids, Asterids, and Eumagnoliids). Our analysis provided no general support for the hypothesis that dioecy is more likely to evolve in lineages already possessing the seven attributes we considered. -
Generating and Filtering Major Phenotypic Novelties: Neogoldschmidtian Saltation Revisited
Chapter 7 Generating and filtering major phenotypic novelties: neoGoldschmidtian saltation revisited Richard N\. Bateman and William A. D/M/che/e ABSTRACT Further developing a controversial neoGoldschmidtian paradigm that we first pub- lished in 1994, we here narrowly define saltational evolution as a genetic modifica- tion that is expressed as a profound phenotypic change across a single generation and results in a potentially independent evolutionary lineage termed a prospecies (the 'hopeful monster' of Richard Goldschmidt). Of several saltational and parasaltational mechanisms previously discussed by us, the most directly relevant to evolutionary-developmental genetics is dichotomous saltation, which is driven by mutation within a single ancestral Uneage. It can result not only in instantaneous speciation but also in the simultaneous origin of a profound phenotypic novelty more likely to be treated as a new supraspecific taxon. Saltational events form unusually long branches on morphological phylogenies, which follow a punctuated equilibrium pattern, but at the time of origin they typically form zero length branches on the contrastingly gradualistic molecular phylogenies. Our chosen case- studies of heterotopy (including homeosis) and heterochrony in fossil seed-ferns and extant orchids indicate that vast numbers of prospecies are continuously generated by mutation of key developmental genes that control morphogenesis. First principles suggest that, although higher plant mutants are more likely to become established than higher animals, the fitness of even plant prospecies is in at least most cases too low to survive competition-mediated selection. The establishment of prospecies is most Hkely under temporary release from selection in environments of low biotic competition for resources, followed by honing to competitive fitness by gradual rein- troduction to neoDarwinian selection. -

Ce travail de thèse avait donc pour objectif de répondre à de telles questions pour deux genres : Phytoseiulus et Neoseiulella, en utilisant pour la première fois des approches phylogénétiques moléculaires et morphologiques. Ces études phylogénétiques ont été également associées à des études biogéographiques. Les résultats obtenus par ces deux approches sont congruents et semblent montrer que ces deux genres ne sont pas monophylétiques : le genre Phytoseiulus semble au mieux paraphylétique, tandis que le genre Neoseiulella serait polyphylétique. -
The Characterisation of Microsatellite Markers Reveals Tetraploidy in the Greater Water Parsnip, Sium Latifolium (Apiaceae) Naomi J
Dalton et al. BMC Res Notes (2017) 10:204 DOI 10.1186/s13104-017-2528-6 BMC Research Notes SHORT REPORT Open Access The characterisation of microsatellite markers reveals tetraploidy in the Greater Water Parsnip, Sium latifolium (Apiaceae) Naomi J. Dalton1,2* , Gavin J. Horsburgh2 and Deborah A. Dawson2 Abstract Background: The Greater Water Parsnip, Sium latifolium (Apiaceae), is a marginal aquatic perennial currently endan- gered in England and consequently the focus of a number of conservation translocation projects. Microsatellite mark- ers were developed for S. latifolium to facilitate comparison of genetic diversity and composition between natural and introduced populations. Results: We selected 65 S. latifolium microsatellite (MiSeq) sequences and designed primer pairs for these. Primer sets were tested in 32 individuals. We found 15 polymorphic loci that amplifed consistently. For the selected 15 loci, the number of alleles per locus ranged from 8 to 17. For all loci, S. latifolium individuals displayed up to four alleles indicat- ing polyploidy in this species. Conclusions: These are the frst microsatellite loci developed for S. latifolium and each individual displayed 1–4 alleles per locus, suggesting polyploidy in this species. These markers provide a valuable resource in evaluating the population genetic composition of this endangered species and thus will be useful for guiding conservation and future translocations of the species. Keywords: Sium latifolium, Microsatellite, Polyploid, Plant translocation, Simple sequence repeat (SSR), Simple tandem repeat (STR) Background latifolium is a herbaceous, marginal aquatic perennial in Plant translocation is a common occurrence, with an the plant family Apiaceae, tribe Oenantheae; one of nine estimated 600 species of plants having been relocated species within the genus, it is found across Europe and as population introduction, re-introduction or aug- Asia [8]. -
Macro-Evolutionary and Macro-Ecological Studies on the Cape Flora, with Focus on the Pentaschistis Clade (Poaceae)
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2007 Macro-evolutionary and macro-ecological studies on the Cape flora, with focus on the Pentaschistis clade (Poaceae) Galley, Chloé A Abstract: Diese Arbeit behandelt die Makroevolution und die Makroökologie einer artenreichen Gruppe von Grasen der Kapflora (der Pentaschistis „Clade“), und anderer „Clades“, welche dieselbe Verbre- itung aufweisen. Im ersten Kapitel untersuche ich die Evolution und Funktion von mehrzelligen Drüsen und von anatomischen Blatttypen in der Pentaschistis Gruppe. Um Merkmalsevolution zu untersuchen, benötigt man eine phylogenetische Hypothese. Schliesslich werden einige unklare Punkte betreffend zwischenartlichen Beziehungen aufgelöst. Prionanthium ist innerhalb Pentaschistis anzusiedeln und dieser „Clade“ kann als Schwestergruppe zu Pentameris und Pentaschistis tysonii betrachtet werden. Im zweiten Kapitel untersuche ich den Artenreichtum des Pentaschistis „Clade“ in der Kapflora, mit der Drakensberg Region als Vergleich. Die Habitatsdiversität der Landstriche (zwischen Regionen) und die Habitatsunterschiede zwischen unterschiedlichen Landstrichen (innerhalb der Regionen) werden ver- glichen. Diese Resultate werden also Vorhersage von Artreichtum und Artenfluktuation für die jeweiligen Regionen getestet. Trotz einer gut untersuchten Flora werden immer noch neue Arten von der Region der Kapflora (CFR) entdeckt und beschrieben. Kapitel drei ist eine Beschreibung von dreier neuerArten der CFR. Kapitel vier ist eine Metaanalyse die sich auf die Ursprünge der „Cape Clades“ konzentri- ert, welche ca. 50% der am Kap vorkommenden Pflanzenarten ausmachen. Die „Cape Clades“ haben räumlich und zeitlich sehr unterschiedliche Ursprünge. Kapitel fünf untersucht die Wanderrouten von vier Linien, welche hauptsächlich am Kap beheimatet sind, durch die Regionen des gemässigten Afrikas. Ein generelles Migrationsmuster um die Region des gemässigten Afrikas wird identifiziert. -

Our results show that the distribution of species number among Hawaiian lineages is much more Keywords: uneven than the Canary Islands. In contrast, Hawaii produces a more even distribution of species Canary Islands number by family than the Canary Islands. This may be due to the Hawaiian Flora being derived from Gini coefficient considerably fewer colonists than the Canarian Flora as a result of its much greater degree of isolation. -
