A Molecular Phylogenetic Perspective on Salamander Evolution

核糖体的结构将作为重建脊椎动物，特别是蝾螈进化史的信息来源进行研究。从这些数据中推断出的进化关系将允许对脊椎动物进化过程中使用的分子进化、有机体进化和物种形成机制进行评估。这些信息对于研究进化过程中产生新的适应性特征的发育机制特别有用。进化关系的解决将允许为所研究的物种建立一个更稳定和有用的分类分类。这项研究将确定核糖体的哪些部分可能对评估进化关系最有帮助，从而促进对其他分类群的进化研究。

The structure of the ribosome will be investigated as a source of information for reconstructing the evolutionary history of vertebrates, especially salamanders. The evolutionary relationships inferred from these data will permit evaluation of the mechanisms of molecular evolution, organismal evolution and speciation that have been utilized during vertebrate evolution. This information will be particularly useful for investigating the developmental mechanisms by which novel, adaptive features are produced by the evolutionary process. Resolution of evolutionary relationships will permit the construction of a more stable and useful taxonomic classification for the species studied. This study will identify which parts of the ribosome are likely to be most informative for evaluating evolutionary relationships across a broad spectrum of evolutionary time, thereby facilitating evolutionary studies of additional taxa.
