Varroa jacobsoni (Acari: Varroidae) is more than one species
- D. Anderson, J. Trueman
- BiologyExperimental & applied acarology
- 1 March 2000
The results imply that the findings of past research on V. jacobsoni are applicable mostly to V. destructor, and will also influence quarantine protocols for bee mites, and may present new strategies for mite control.
A taxonomic revision of Metarhizium based on a phylogenetic analysis of rDNA sequence data
- F. Driver, R. Milner, J. Trueman
- Biology
- 1 February 2000
The taxonomy of Metarhizium has been reassessed using sequence data and RAPD patterns from 123 isolates recognised as M. anisopliae, M. flavoviride or M. album, and four clades are recognised and redefined according to ITS sequence data.
An unusual source of apparent mitochondrial heteroplasmy: duplicate mitochondrial control regions in Thalassarche albatrosses
- C. Abbott, M. Double, J. Trueman, A. Robinson, A. Cockburn
- BiologyMolecular Ecology
- 1 October 2005
The results presented here should be considered in future evolutionary studies targeting the control region of all Procellariiformes and potentially other closely related avian groups, because of the first time contrasting evolutionary patterns have been reported for duplicate control regions.
When and where did troidine butterflies (Lepidoptera : Papilionidae) evolve? Phylogenetic and biogeographic evidence suggests an origin in remnant Gondwana in the Late Cretaceous
- M. Braby, J. Trueman, R. Eastwood
- Biology, Environmental Science
- 19 July 2005
The most parsimonious biogeographic hypothesis suggests a southern origin of the Troidini in remnant Gondwana sometime after the rifting and final separation of Africa in the Late Cretaceous, and at least four relatively recent dispersal/extinction events are needed to reconcile anomalies in distribution.
Integrative taxonomy, or iterative taxonomy?
- D. Yeates, A. Seago, L. Nelson, S. Cameron, L. Joseph, J. Trueman
- Biology
- 1 April 2011
The term ‘iterative taxonomy’ is proposed for current practice that treats species boundaries as hypotheses to be tested with new evidence, and a search for biological or evolutionary explanations for discordant evidence can be used to distinguish between competing species boundary hypotheses.
Bemisia argentifolii is a race of B. tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae): the molecular genetic differentiation of B. tabaci populations around the world
- P. D. De Barro, J. Trueman, D. Frohlich
- BiologyBulletin of entomological research
- 1 June 2005
Phylogenetic and minimum spanning network analyses identified six major races, Asia, Bali, Australia, sub-Saharan Africa, Mediterranean/Asia Minor/Africa and New World as well as a large collection of genotypes from the Asia region with no strong association with any of the races.
The classification and diversity of dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata)
- K. Dijkstra, Guenter Bechly, J. Ware
- Biology
- 30 August 2013
It is argued for conserving the family-group names Chlorocyphidae, Euphaeidae and Dicteriadidae, as well as retaining Epiophlebiidae in the suborder Anisozygoptera, while the proposal to separate Chlorogomph Families, Cordulegastridae and Neopetaliidae from Libelluloidea in their own superfamily CordUlegastroidea is adopted.
Towards an inclusive philosophy for phylogenetic inference.
- D. Faith, J. Trueman
- Philosophy, BiologySystematic Biology
- 1 May 2001
It is concluded that progress in an inclusive phylogenetics will be well served by the rejection of cladistic philosophy, and the capacity to assess Popperian corroboration provides a framework in phylogenetics for learning from errors--cases where apparent good evidence is probable even without the hypothesis.
Phylogenetic relationships of world populations of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) using ribosomal ITS1.
- P. D. De Barro, F. Driver, J. Trueman, J. Curran
- BiologyMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution
- 1 July 2000
The phylogenetic relationships of the different populations of B. tabaci and the origins of effective natural enemies of the B biotype suggest that knowing the origin of the A biotype is not essential to finding effective agents and supports the notion that crop management is the key aspect to control.
Phylogeny and evolution of the Meliphagoidea, the largest radiation of Australasian songbirds.
