Molecular phylogenetics of Ruscaceae

Posted on October 27th, 2010 by Alex

: Molecular phylogenetics of Ruscaceae

Previous phylogenetics studies of the monocot order Asparagales, although extensive and generally well supported, have left several sets of taxa unclearly placed and have not addressed all relationships within certain clades thoroughly. Kim et al. collect a totally new set of data for a large sampling of species and find that the results are highly similar to those of previous studies with sparser sampling. The data provide a robust framework for further studies on the family Ruscaceae (or subfamily Nolinoideae of Asparagaceae s.l.), which have been the subject of several recent controversies.

- Le biocorridor du mont Royal
  Le mont Royal en 1947 et de nos jours (Archives VDM et Google Earth) Cela avait été une sérieuse gaffe de percer le mont Royal pour y faire ce boulevard Camilien-Houde. Curieusement on avait gardé un pont de roc (présent entre les traits rouges ci-haut) qui permettait de passer du sommet du mont Royal au sommet Outremont. C'est là que se trouve le cime […]

- Nesting Bluebirds
  by Buz Sawyer, Volunteer, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden A bluebird at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, exactly what we were going for! You may have read my last post about the Lewis Ginter Bluebird Trail where I mentioned that we had 7 out of 14 nest boxes occupied by chickadees and only one box with hopeful signs of bluebird activity. In the last month there […]
