  • Towards a Management Hierarchy (Classification) for the Catalogue of Life
    TOWARDS A MANAGEMENT HIERARCHY (CLASSIFICATION) FOR THE CATALOGUE OF LIFE Draft Discussion Document Rationale The Catalogue of Life partnership, comprising Species 2000 and ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System), has the goal of achieving a comprehensive catalogue of all known species on Earth by the year 2011. The actual number of described species (after correction for synonyms) is not presently known but estimates suggest about 1.8 million species. The collaborative teams behind the Catalogue of Life need an agreed standard classification for these 1.8 million species, i.e. a working hierarchy for management purposes. This discussion document is intended to highlight some of the issues that need clarifying in order to achieve this goal beyond what we presently have. Concerning Classification Life’s diversity is classified into a hierarchy of categories. The best-known of these is the Kingdom. When Carl Linnaeus introduced his new “system of nature” in the 1750s ― Systema Naturae per Regna tria naturae, secundum Classes, Ordines, Genera, Species …) ― he recognised three kingdoms, viz Plantae, Animalia, and a third kingdom for minerals that has long since been abandoned. As is evident from the title of his work, he introduced lower-level taxonomic categories, each successively nested in the other, named Class, Order, Genus, and Species. The most useful and innovative aspect of his system (which gave rise to the scientific discipline of Systematics) was the use of the binominal, comprising genus and species, that uniquely identified each species of organism. Linnaeus’s system has proven to be robust for some 250 years. The starting point for botanical names is his Species Plantarum, published in 1753, and that for zoological names is the tenth edition of the Systema Naturae published in 1758.

India has a coastline of 8,118 km, with an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 2.02 million sq km and a continental shelf area of 468,000 sq km, spread across 10 coastal States and seven Union Territories, including the islands of Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep. Indian coastal waters are extremely diverse attributing to the geomorphologic and climatic variations along the coast. The coastal and marine habitat includes near shore, gulf waters, creeks, tidal flats, mud flats, coastal dunes, mangroves, marshes, wetlands, seaweed and seagrass beds, deltaic plains, estuaries, lagoons and coral reefs. There are four major coral reef areas in India-along the coasts of the Andaman and Nicobar group of islands, the Lakshadweep group of islands, the Gulf of Mannar and the Gulf of Kachchh . The Andaman and Nicobar group is the richest in terms of diversity.

  • Nomenclature and Taxonomy
    c01.qxd 8/18/03 4:06 PM Page 5 1 NOMENCLATURE AND TAXONOMY Nomenclature (Scientific ● Common) When casually discussing nature, whether verbally or in print, we typi- cally use pretty informal language. Simple, everyday terms for plants and animals are more than adequate for expressing ourselves. We do not talk about Malus and Citrus sinensis (taxonomic terms) when referring to apples and oranges because it is simply not effective communication. However, we do use such terms when we want to make specific scientific distinctions—say, between the prairie crab apple, which botanists identify as Malus ioensis, and the sweet crab apple, which they have designated Malus coronaria. Because this book deals with differences, many of them technical and somewhat detailed, the reader will encounter quite a few such scientific names, some of which may appear not only needlessly elaborate but also virtually unpronounceable—although nothing as tongue twisting as Paracoccidioides brasilensis, a lung-infecting fungus, or Brachyta inter- rogationis interrogationis var. nigrohumeralisscutellohumeroconjuncta, a longhorn beetle. As for pronunciation, unless one really feels that the word will be used in conversation, there is no need to be concerned with “getting it right.” But why does science eschew common names and instead encumber itself with such a seemingly inexplicable vocabulary? Because, in part, “common” does not necessarily mean “universal.” What may be an organism’s common name in one part of the country may be quite dif- ferent in another, making any initial exchange of information suspect. For example, in the Midwest the thirteen-lined ground squirrel (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus) is commonly, but mistakenly, called a gopher, which is 5 c01.qxd 8/18/03 4:06 PM Page 6 6 This Is Not a Weasel really the rightful name of a much larger rodent (Geomys bursarius).

  • A Multigene Phylogeny Toward a New Phylogenetic Classification of Leotiomycetes Peter R
    Johnston et al. IMA Fungus (2019) 10:1 https://doi.org/10.1186/s43008-019-0002-x IMA Fungus RESEARCH Open Access A multigene phylogeny toward a new phylogenetic classification of Leotiomycetes Peter R. Johnston1* , Luis Quijada2, Christopher A. Smith1, Hans-Otto Baral3, Tsuyoshi Hosoya4, Christiane Baschien5, Kadri Pärtel6, Wen-Ying Zhuang7, Danny Haelewaters2,8, Duckchul Park1, Steffen Carl5, Francesc López-Giráldez9, Zheng Wang10 and Jeffrey P. Townsend10 Abstract Fungi in the class Leotiomycetes are ecologically diverse, including mycorrhizas, endophytes of roots and leaves, plant pathogens, aquatic and aero-aquatic hyphomycetes, mammalian pathogens, and saprobes. These fungi are commonly detected in cultures from diseased tissue and from environmental DNA extracts. The identification of specimens from such character-poor samples increasingly relies on DNA sequencing. However, the current classification of Leotiomycetes is still largely based on morphologically defined taxa, especially at higher taxonomic levels. Consequently, the formal Leotiomycetes classification is frequently poorly congruent with the relationships suggested by DNA sequencing studies. Previous class-wide phylogenies of Leotiomycetes have been based on ribosomal DNA markers, with most of the published multi-gene studies being focussed on particular genera or families. In this paper we collate data available from specimens representing both sexual and asexual morphs from across the genetic breadth of the class, with a focus on generic type species, to present a phylogeny based on up to 15 concatenated genes across 279 specimens. Included in the dataset are genes that were extracted from 72 of the genomes available for the class, including 10 new genomes released with this study. To test the statistical support for the deepest branches in the phylogeny, an additional phylogeny based on 3156 genes from 51 selected genomes is also presented.

  • The Oldest Brachiopods from the Lower Cambrian of South Australia
    The oldest brachiopods from the lower Cambrian of South Australia TIMOTHY P. TOPPER, LARS E. HOLMER, CHRISTIAN B. SKOVSTED, GLENN A. BROCK, UWE BALTHASAR, CECILIA M. LARSSON, SANDRA PETTERSSON STOLK, and DAVID A.T. HARPER Topper, T.P., Holmer, L.E., Skovsted, C.B., Brock, G.A., Balthasar, U., Larsson, C.M., Petterson Stolk, S., and Harper, D.A.T. 2013. The oldest brachiopods from the lower Cambrian of South Australia. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 58 (1): 93–109. The morphology and organophosphatic shell structure of the paterinate brachiopod Askepasma is documented using new and previously collected specimens from the lower Cambrian of South Australia. Lack of adequately preserved material has seen the majority of paterinate specimens previously reported from South Australia referred to the genus Askepasma and treated under open nomenclature. Large collections of paterinates from the lower Cambrian Wilkawillina, Ajax, and Wirrapowie limestones in the Arrowie Basin, South Australia have prompted redescription of the type species Askepasma toddense and the erection of a new species, Askepasma saproconcha sp. nov. Askepasma saproconcha sp. nov. currently represents the oldest known brachiopod from the lower Cambrian successions in South Australia with a FAD in pre−trilo− bitic (Terreneuvian, Cambrian Stage 2, lower Atdabanian) strata in the basal part of the Wilkawillina and Wirrapowie limestones. Askepasma toddense predominantly occurs in Abadiella huoi Zone equivalent strata (Unnamed Cambrian Se− ries 2, Stage 3, middle–upper Atdabanian) in the upper part of the lower Wilkawillina, Wirrapowie, and Ajax limestones. The shell microstructure of Askepasma suggests a proximal stem group position within the Brachiopoda and similarities with tommotiid taxa provides further evidence that the ancestry of crown group brachiopods is firmly entrenched within the Tommotiida.
