Phylum or Division:It is a taxonomic category higher than class and lowers in rank to the kingdom. The term ‘Phylum’ is used for animals, while ‘Division’ is commonly employed for plants. It consists of more than one class having some similar correlated characters. Kingdom:It is the h...

They suggested that character compatibility, when formalized as a phylogenetic method, captured what they believed was the "intuitive taxonomic practice of recognizing taxa based on conserved nonhomoplastic characters" (Scotland and Steel 2015, p. 493). Although we agree that there is much to be ...

Qualities of a good taxonomy A good taxonomic classification takes into account the importance of separating elements of a group, ortaxon, into subgroups, ortaxa, that are mutually exclusive and unambiguous and -- taken together -- include all known possibilities.

Pair bonding is a psychological construct that we attempt to operationalize via behavioral and physiological measurements. Yet, pair bonding has been both defined differently in various taxonomic groups as well as used loosely to describe not just a psychological and affective phenomenon, but also a ...
This problem can look trivial but could occur more and more frequently when phylogenetic analyses are performed at community level within the framework of metagenomics: local and community-focused sampling will not necessarily ensure a reasonable taxonomic coverage and could generate more artifacts than ...
By all the rules of taxonomic classification, we ought to class them in different species. The only reason we dc not is that we know that they have been deliberately bred to look this way within recent historical times. And, of course, genetically they are all but identical. When the ...
