Characters & Character states Morphological Characters e.g., Phyllotaxy: 0 = alternate; 1 = opposite; 2 = whorled. e.g., Carpel Presence: 0 = absent; 1 = present. 2
3 I. Terms & Concepts E. Phylogenetic Evidence 1. Characters & Character states Molecular Characters (e.g., DNA sequence characters) Protein coding genes (e.g., cox1 or rbcl) Structural RNA genes (e.g., 18S or 26S rdna) I. Terms & Concepts E. Phylogenetic Evidence 1. Characters & Character states Molecular Characters (e.g., DNA sequence characters) Protein coding genes (e.g., cox1 or rbcl) Structural RNA genes (e.g., 18S or 26S rdna) e.g., Position 36 in rbcl gene: 0 = A; 1 = G; 2 = C; 3 = T. or e.g., Position 36 in rbcl gene: A; G; C; T. I. Terms & Concepts E. Phylogenetic Evidence 1. Characters & Character states Molecular Characters (e.g., amino acid sequence characters) e.g., Position 5 in rubisco: 0 = glutamine; 1 = proline; etc. 3

Phylogenetic Evidence 3. Homology, analogy, and homoplasy I. Terms & Concepts E. Phylogenetic Evidence 3. Homology, analogy, and homoplasy Homology = similarity due to common descent e.g., plicate leaves in Cocos and Serenoa e.g., petals in Magnolia and Liriodendron e.g., 5 stamens in Solanum and Capsicum e.g., flippers in whales and arms (forelimbs) in terrestrial mammals. e.g., lack of vertebrae in bacteria, plants, snails 4
5 I. Terms & Concepts E. Phylogenetic Evidence 3. Homology, analogy, and homoplasy Analogy = similarity due to similar function (usually only superficial) e.g., wings in birds and bats and insects e.g., reduced to absence petals in Poaceae and Fagaceae e.g., succulence in Aloe and Crassula leaves e.g., tendrils in grapes and bean plants I. Terms & Concepts E. Phylogenetic Evidence 3. Homology, analogy, and homoplasy Homoplasy = confounds phylogenetic inference b/c it creates similarity that is not homologous e.g., reversals e.g., convergence I. Terms & Concepts E. Phylogenetic Evidence 3. Homology, analogy, and homoplasy Primary Homology Assessment (during character coding and scoring) e.g., PETAL COLOR: 0 = red; 1 = blue 5

18 III. Uses of Cladograms A. Taxonomies (Classifications) 1. Revision of Existing Classification Schemes (e.g., angiosperms) III. Uses of Cladograms Angiosperms are monophyletic: therefore, we could recognize as a taxon (e.g., Magnoliophyta or Magnoliopsida) Review synapomorphies from Taxonomic Overview lectures nymphaeids (water-lilies & friends) magnoliids monocots Ranunculids & other primitive eudicots rosids caryophyllids asterids But what about classic subdivision into monocots & dicots? e.g., Cronquist (1981) Which of Cronquist s classes is not monophyletic (i.e., which is paraphyletic)? Magnoliophyta (angiosperms) Magnoliopsida (dicots) Liliopsida (monocots) nymphaeids (water-lilies & friends) magnoliids monocots Ranunculids & other primitive eudicots rosids caryophyllids asterids 18
19 But what about classic subdivision into monocots & dicots? e.g., Cronquist (1981) Which of Cronquist s classes is not monophyletic (i.e., which is paraphyletic)? Magnoliophyta (angiosperms) Magnoliopsida (dicots) Liliopsida (monocots) nymphaeids (water-lilies & friends) magnoliids monocots Ranunculids & other primitive eudicots rosids caryophyllids asterids Analogous to situation with birds, dinosaurs and reptiles: Birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs and dinosaurs evolved from reptiles. Thus, the old classification of Reptilia and Aves as classes violates cladistic principles of classification. More: Cronquist s Magnoliidae included water-lilies, Magnoliids, and some primitive eudicots. nymphaeids nymphaeids (water-lilies & friends) (water-lilies & friends) magnoliids monocots Ranunculids & other primitive eudicots rosids caryophyllids asterids 19

How to recognize new taxa within existing shemes (e.g., spiderworts) e.g., recognition of new genus, Plowmanianthus, in Commelinaceae (2004). Timeline: Strange Commelinaceae discovered at Field Museum Herbarium- were misplaced in Gesneriaceae indet folders 2. Herbarium search turns up several more 3. Ca Tim Plowman returns from S America w/ living plant 4. C-some counts, flower point to relationship with Cochliostema... 21
22 Timeline (Continued): : Fieldwork in S America reveals new discoveries that further support affinity w/ Cochliostema cm Summary of Biogeography & character states uniting & differentiating Cochliostema and these new undescribed species. Cochliostema 1. NW South America. 2. n = Epiphytic in trees. 4. Fringed petals. 5. Reduction to 3 stamens. 6. Filaments basally fused. 7. Anthers concealed by fused filament hairs. 8. Anthers spirally coiled Undescribed spp. 1. NW South America. 2. n= Semi-terrestrial: rooting only in leaf litter. 4. Fringed petals. 5. Reduction to 3 stamens. 6. Filaments basally fused. 7. Anthers concealed by unfused filament hairs. 8. Anthers strongly curved, but not spirally coiled Cladistic analysis of Hardy (2001) provided support for the recognition of two genera, with the undescribed species comprising the second genus, Plowmanianthus. Which of the following three cladograms match the one obtained by Hardy? Hint: remember Hennig s principle that only monophyletic groups should be named. Hint 2: Hennig said that clades (and taxa) are recognized based on synapomorphies, not symplesiomorphies. A B C 22
