-in his paper he discusses the phylogenetic taxonomy of flowering plants. Put together
the first phylogeny of flowering plants; bessey's cactus. - correct answer charles bessey
1845-1915
Book: 1913 the flora of the south-east
-1st published in 1903 and again in 1933
Book: from eden to sahara
-wrote about the habitat and ecological devastation of florida. - correct answer john
kunkel small 1869-1938
Ist to use anatomy (micro-morphology) last to use morphological characters. - correct
answer armen takhtajan & arthur cronquist
-taxonomy should reflect evolutionary lineages as closely as possible.
-1st derive evolutionary hypothesis of relationships (phylogeny) then fit names to
clades/groups.
-if classification is to truly follow evolution then all named groups need to be
monophylectic. - correct answer willi hennig & the "cladists"
Containing an ancestor and all of its descendants. - correct answer monophyletic
-names/groupings are misleading(artificial).
-ancestors but not all descendants. - correct answer non-monophyletic
-are box in box naming devices (historically)
-should reflect evolutionary relationships if the are to be of maximum utility. - correct
answer classifications schemes
-stable
-universal
-accessible
-enhance communication
-increase knowledge
-emphasize monophyly - correct answer for a classification scheme to be effective it
must be:
Unless you build them according to human use - correct answer taxonomic groups have
no real meaning unless they are monophyletic.
Unless they are within a lineage. They dont have meaning before lineages. We just use
them to group for memory devices.
-species is the only biological rank - correct answer taxonomic ranks have no meaning
at all.
-Evolution proceeds through environmental determinism.
-evolutionary thought should guide classification.
