Introduction: Phylogenetic species concept defines species by their relationship with the other species. This concept is applicable for both interbreeding and allotropic population. The key idea of this concept is that species should be diagnosable or with a set of unique features.
(b)
To determine: The implications of applying phylogenetic species concept (PSC) over biological species concept on the study of species diversity in ecological communities.
Introduction: Phylogenetic species concept defines species by their relationship with the other species. This concept is applicable for both interbreeding and allotropic population. The key idea of this concept is that species should be diagnosable or with a set of unique features.
(c)
To determine: The implications of applying phylogenetic species concept (PSC) over biological species concept on the estimation of species diversity at a global level.
Introduction: Phylogenetic species concept defines species by their relationship with the other species. This concept is applicable for both interbreeding and allotropic population. The key idea of this concept is that species should be diagnosable or possess a set of unique features.
