The Phylogenetic Method In Taxonomy

The book titled ""The Phylogenetic Method In Taxonomy: The North American Species Of Artemisia, Chrysothamnus, And Atriplex"" authored by Harvey Monroe Hall is a comprehensive guide to the application of the phylogenetic method in taxonomy. The book focuses on three North American plant genera, namely Artemisia, Chrysothamnus, and Atriplex, and provides a detailed analysis of their evolutionary history, morphology, and genetic makeup.The book begins with an introduction to the phylogenetic method and its importance in taxonomy. It then delves into the three genera and provides a detailed description of their species, including their distribution, habitat, morphology, and reproductive biology. The author also discusses the various taxonomic approaches used to classify these species and highlights the limitations of traditional classification methods.The book then presents a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the three genera, based on molecular data, morphology, and biogeography. The author uses this analysis to propose a new classification system for these genera, which is based on their evolutionary relationships rather than their morphological similarities.Overall, ""The Phylogenetic Method In Taxonomy: The North American Species Of Artemisia, Chrysothamnus, And Atriplex"" is an essential reference for botanists, taxonomists, and evolutionary biologists. It provides a detailed understanding of the phylogenetic method and its application in taxonomy, as well as a comprehensive analysis of three important North American plant genera.Carnegie Institution Of Washington, Publication No. 326.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
