The green lineage (Viridiplantae) comprises the green algae and their descendants the land
plants, and is one of the major groups of oxygenic photosynthetic eukaryotes. Current …

Microbiotic crusts are biological soil crusts composed of lichens, cyanobacteria, algae,
mosses, and fungi. The biodiversity of these crusts is poorly understood; several …

Over the past two decades, molecular phylogenetic data have allowed evaluations of
hypotheses on the evolution of green algae based on vegetative morphological and …

Biomass is the organic materials derived from the reaction between carbon dioxide, water,
sunlight, and other nutrients via photosynthesis. Biomass is one of the most potentially …

A diverse array of molecular approaches is now available to the plant systematist for use in
phylogenetic inference, including restriction site analysis, comparative sequencing, analysis …

This review discusses the main developments in the systematics of coccoid green algae
over the last three decades. The relationships of key groups of planktonic coccoid green …

Nuclear‐encoded small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (185rDNA) sequences were
determined for Chlamydomonas moewusii Gerloff and five chlorococcalean algae …

Phylogenies based on molecular sequence data and on morphology are surveyed and
compared within animals (concentrating on vertebrates, mammals, and hominids in …

Considerable progress has been made recently, based on classical morphological
characters and newly described ultrastructural features, in understanding the phylogenetic …

Complete nuclear‐encoded small‐subunit ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA) coding sequences
