A PHYLOGENY OF BEJARIA (ERICACEAE: ERICOIDEAE) BASED ON MOLECULAR DATA

Phylogenetic relationships of ten of the fifteen recognized species of Bejaria were examined using molecular (ndhF 5', matK; chloroplast and waxy; nuclear) data. Parsimony analyses were performed in PAUP for each gene, combined chloroplast data and total combined data. Bayesian analyses were pe...

Description
Summary:Phylogenetic relationships of ten of the fifteen recognized species of Bejaria were examined using molecular (ndhF 5', matK; chloroplast and waxy; nuclear) data. Parsimony analyses were performed in PAUP for each gene, combined chloroplast data and total combined data. Bayesian analyses were performed in MrBayes for the waxy, combined chloroplast and total combined data sets. Bejarieae (Bejaria, Bryanthus and Ledoihamnus) is not monophyletic in any analysis. The sampled members of Bejaria are monophyletic in all analyses with strong support. Bejaria racemosa, the only species from North America, is strongly supported as sister to all other Bejaria members. Las relaciones filogenéticas de 10 de las 15 especies reconocidas de Bejaria fueron examinadas utilizando datos moleculares (ndhF 5', matK, y waxy). Los análisis de parsimonia fueron realizados en PAUP para cada gen, para los datos de cloroplasto y para los datos combinados totales. Los análisis Bayesianos se realizaron en MrBayes para el gen nuclear waxy, los datos de cloroplasto y para los datos combinados totales. En nuestro análisis la tribu Bejarieae (Bejaria, Bryanthus y Ledothamnus) no es monofilética. En todos los análisis, los miembros muestreados de Bejaria, son monofiléticos con un soporte alto. Bejaria racemosa, la única especie de Norte América, fue resuelta como hermana de los otros miembros de Bejaria.
