We produced a molecular phylogeny of species within the order Strongylida (bursate nematodes) using the D1 and D2 domains of 28S rDNA, with 23 new sequences for each domain. A first analysis using Caenorhabditis elegans as an outgroup produced a tree with low resolution in which three taxa (Dictyoca

Previous debate about statistical variation in inferred phylogenies has focused on procedures for the estimation of evolutionary relationships from aligned sequences. Morrison and Ellis 1 have recently drawn attention to additional variation attributable to the alignment procedure used and have sugg
Some generally accepted viewpoints on the phylogenetic relationships within the molluscan class Gastropoda are reassessed by comparing complete 18S rRNA sequences. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using the neighbor-joining and maximum parsimony methods. The previously suggested basal position o
Sequences of the \(5 S\) rDNA repeat have been determined from four outgroup taxa (Arillastrum group), 2 Angophora species, and 19 Eucalyptus species (including representatives from all informal subgenera). Alignment shows that, as in other plants, the tandemly repeated \(5 S\) rRNA genes are highly
Several families in the beetle suborder Adephaga have an aquatic life style and are commonly grouped in the "Hydradephaga," but their monophyly is contentious and relationships between and within these families are poorly understood. Here we present full-length 18S rRNA sequence for 84 species of Hy
