MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY BIOGEOGRAPHY AND AN E-MONOG...

Fernanda Antunes Carvalho addresses an issue of key importance to the field of systematics 
namely how to foster taxonomic work and the dissemination of scientific knowledge about species
by taking full advantage of electronic data and bioinformatics tools. The first part focuses on
the development of an electronic monograph of the papaya family (Caricaceae) using existing
infrastructures of Information Technology (IT) and bioinformatic tools that together set the
stage for a new era of systematics. Based on the plastid and nuclear DNA data  the author
inferred historical processes in the second part that may have shaped the evolution of the
Caricaceae and explain their current geographic distribution. The last part is dedicated to the
evolution of chromosome numbers in the Caricaceae and includes counts for species from three
genera (Cylicomorpha  Horovitzia  Jarilla) that have never been investigated before.
