The taxonomic diversity of the monocotyledons is described in detail by Kubitzki.
These species have all survived major extinction events, and generally retain low taxonomic diversities.
Now, with methods of genomic sequencing and other techniques, we can assess taxonomic diversity without growing a large, pure culture of each species.
"Links between global taxonomic diversity, ecological diversity and the expansion of vertebrates on land."
Plants exposure are morphological and taxonomic diversity within the family.
By contrast, polychaetes (figure 5.2), though equal to priapulids in taxonomic diversity, are much rarer numerically.
This region was characterized by lower taxonomic diversity in communities where lambeosaurine were less common and centrosaurs were completely lacking.
The mechanism by which a key innovation leads to taxonomic diversity is not certain but several hypotheses have been suggested:
For example, there is a close link between vertebrate taxonomic and ecological diversity.
The reptiles of northern Eurasia: taxonomic diversity, distribution, conservation status.
