Part 3. Monograph Methods Diagram

Move the mouse over the diagrams to see more information about the concepts behind this mongraph. At the bottom is a mockup of the Interactive Phylogeny, directions for use and links to the actual phylogeny.

trnL

trnL-trnF intergenic spacer, complete sequence; and tRNA-Phe, partial sequence; chloroplast genes for chloroplast products.
slowly evolving (i.e., the least variable used here)

gpd

glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd) nuclear dna, partial sequence;
highly variable nuclear gene composed of 3 exons and 4 introns

identical genes

Some rps4 and trnL sequences were indentical; the corresponding specimens were morphologically indistinguishable. Thus those sequences were removed to assist the search for natural AND diagnosable clades.

rps4

small ribosomal protein 4 (rps4) gene;
moderately variable chloroplast gene

morphology

set of 26 cladistic characters that you will discover as you navigate this phylogenetic monograph.

Step 1

	Phylogenetic analysis on morphological features and three genes are used to construct a phylogeny of all unique lineages of Mitthyridium.
	[move cursor over diagrams for more information]

Step 2

	The phylogeny with terminal names representing diagnosable, monophyletic clades.
