Phylogenetic classification and evolutionary analysis have transformed the study of biodiversity by shifting from traditional rank-based systems to a framework centred on shared ancestry and descent.

The Acanthaceae, a diverse family of predominantly tropical flowering plants, has long been subdivided on the basis of morphological characters into tribes and subtribes. Traditional groupings have ...

Phylogenetic analysis explores the evolutionary relationships between organisms and is a vital foundation for microbial studies. The development of reliable phylogenetic trees is an important step in ...

The relationships among the genera of fungus gnats in the mycetophilid subfamily Leiinae are unclear, and the monophyly of this group is questionable. This monograph provides an extensive phylogenetic ...

In the quest to decipher the evolutionary relationships of extinct organisms from fossils, researchers often face challenges in discerning key features from weathered fossils, or with prioritizing ...
