Phylogenetic Trees03:21

Phylogenetic Trees

45.2K
Phylogenetic trees come in many forms. It matters in which sequence the organisms are arranged from the bottom to the top of the tree, but the branches can rotate at their nodes without altering the information. The lines connecting individual nodes can be straight, angled, or even curved.

Phylogeny

43.7K
Phylogeny is concerned with the evolutionary diversification of organisms or groups of organisms. A group of organisms with a name is called a taxon (singular). Taxa (plural) can span different levels of the evolutionary hierarchy. For instance, the group containing all birds is a taxon (comprising the class Aves), and the group of all species of daisies (the genus Bellis) is a taxon. Phylogenies can likewise include just one genus (i.e., depict species relationships) or span an entire kingdom.

Threats to Biodiversity

22.2K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

What is Biodiversity?01:19

What is Biodiversity?

27.2K
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.

Biodiversity and Human Values

Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Two new species of Melastomateae, Pleromacanastrense and Pleromaviscosa, were discovered in Brazil. Both species are recommended for

Area of Science:

  • Botany
  • Plant Taxonomy
  • Biodiversity

Background:

  • The Melastomateae tribe is a diverse group within the Melastomataceae family.
  • Floristic surveys in protected areas are crucial for documenting biodiversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and illustrate two new species of Melastomateae from Serra da Canastra National Park, Brazil.

  • Description of Pleromacanastrense sp. nov. and Pleromaviscosa sp. nov.
  • Identification key for Melastomateae in Serra da Canastra National Park.
  • P. canastrense and P. viscosa exhibit distinct morphological characteristics, including leaf texture, venation, and trichomes.
  • Both species possess stamens with short pedoconnectives and inconspicuous ventral appendages.

Conclusions:

  • Pleromacanastrense sp. nov. and Pleromaviscosa sp. nov. are newly described species endemic to Serra da Canastra National Park.
  • The updated identification key aids in the study of Melastomateae in this region.
  • Conservation status assessment suggests 'Least Concern' for both species, warranting their inclusion in the IUCN Red List.
