Systematic and Evolution of Peperomia subgenus Tildenia (Piperaceae)Symmank, Lars 20 October 2011 (has links) (PDF)
The present study deals with the largely unknown Peperomia subgenus Tildenia. Chapter 1 focuses on the South American centre of Tildenia biodiversity. Initially a general rectified description of Peperomia subgenus Tildenia is presented based on the latest molecular analyses. Fourteen new species are described together with two formerly published varieties that are raised to species rank. Furthermore, for one name, basionym rejection and lectotypification are proposed. All valid species from the South American centre of diversity are treated in a phylogenetic framework. A comparable study of the North American centre of diversity is presented in Chapter 2 including a key to all Tildenia species from Mexico and Central America and the description of thirteen new species (one former variety). The new descriptions within this study doubles the species number of subgenus Tildenia. Chapter 3 is a biogeographical study comprising the whole distribution area revealing the place of origin and the age of Peperomia subgenus Tildenia. The appearance of the major lineages of the subgenus is examined against the background of orogeny and climate changes in the respective distribution areas, to retrace the evolutional driving forces of this plant group. In Chapter 4 Tildenia is used as a model group for the characterisation of a new nuclear single copy gene applicable for general use for phylogentic resoltution on species level and below.
