Molecular phylogeny and biodiversity of the plant family Rutaceae: evidence for Australian-New Caledonian biogeography

研究结果将为新喀里多尼亚和西南太平洋地区演化的地质模型提供生物学证据。这些分析也将有助于历史生物地理学领域的方法和数据解释的改进。分子系统发育将为澳大利亚芸香科在部落和属水平上的新的预测分类奠定基础。改进的系统发育分类为澳大利亚生物多样性研究、商品和服务的提供提供了基础。改进的分类学成果包括生态学研究的物种鉴定、稀有物种鉴定、高保护价值的地理区域和园艺植物鉴定。

The results will contribute biological evidence for geological models of the evolution of New Caledonia and the Southwest Pacific region. Analyses will also contribute to improvement of methods and data interpretation in the field of historical biogeography. The molecular phylogeny will be the foundation for a new predictive classification of Australian Rutaceae at the level of tribes and genera. Improved phylogenetic classification underpins the delivery of biodiversity research, goods and services in Australia. Outcomes of improved taxonomy include species identification for ecological studies, identification of rare species, geographic areas of high conservation value and plants for horticulture.
