Abstract:
The phylogenetic interrelationships of animals (Metazoa) have been elucidated by refined systematic methods and by new techniques, notably from molecular biology. In parallel with the strong molecular focus of contemporary metazoan phylogenetics, morphology has advanced with the introduction of new approaches, such as confocal laser scanning microscopy and cell-labelling in the study of embryology. The discovery of new animal diversity (previously unknown groups like Cycliophora and Micrognathozoa) has invigorated the field as well. At present, broad consensus exists for the monophyly of bilat

In addition, some morphological characters of these two populations such as lamellar formula on fore- and hindfoot differed from the other species.

Abstract A crucial progress in taxonomy matches with the growth of various branches of biological sciences. This validates the taxonomic positions of many organisms. Haemoproteus, Leucocytozoon and Plasmodium, the members of the Haemosporidia, are the well recognized parasitic genera. Revisiting the progress in animal taxonomy appears to be important to evaluate our studies. Haemosporidia being microscopic, their taxonomy specially the morphotaxonomy has sometimes created confusion. Therefore, analysis of progression of the taxonomy of the avian Haemosporidia demands special attention. Modern

Mooi & Gill (2010) argued that careful character study and well-understood synapomorphies do not have the strong role that they deserve as the basis for evidence in phylogenetics. We agree, but suggest that the problem is even greater. Not only character synapomorphies, but also other forms of phylogenetic evidence, typically do not receive the critical assessment that would support phylogenetic inference. In this paper, our goal is to not simply to highlight problems but to suggest solutions. We will suggest that a stronger role for corroboration assessment in systematics could overcome t

Cooperative foraging behavior is a key characteristic of ants. A variety of foraging behaviors are present across this animal family, but little is known of how these behavioral traits evolved and differentiated.

AbstractThe parasitic Nematoda have traditionally been classified distinct from free-living species, and animal parasites treated separately from plant parasites.

Abstract:
SUMMARYSystematics involves resolving both the taxonomy and phylogenetic placement of organisms. We review the advantages and disadvantages of the two kinds of information commonly used for such inferences – morphological and molecular data – as applied to the systematics of metazoan parasites generally, with special attention to the malaria parasites. The problems that potentially confound the use of morphology in parasites include challenges to consistent specimen preservation, plasticity of features depending on hosts or other environmental factors, and morphological convergence.

Abstract:
The systematics of the dipteran family Sciaridae is based mainly on morphological characters and has remained quite controversial. In this study, we used two mitochondrial DNA markers (CO1, 16S) and a nuclear one (28S) to take a glimpse into phylogenetic relationships of part of the North and Central European Sciaridae. A total of 91 species from 19 genera were analysed using Maximum Likelihood based phylogenetics (depending on the availability of valid sequences, 50–70 per gene). We strengthen the suggestion of the Chaetosciara group as an independent subfamily. Within the subfamily Megalosph
