The disciplines most intimately intertwined with the study of dispersion are systematics and evolution.
Randy's main interest is systematics and he has discovered many new California taxa in Trifolium, Piperia, and other genera.
The British Natural History Museum and the American Museum of Natural History's evolutionary exhibits rest upon phylogenetic analyses, therefore the main theme for these evolution exhibits is systematics.
It was Systematics and the Origin of Species a Dover reprint edition of a book by Ernst Mayr, first published by Columbia University Press in 1942.
What is phylogenetic systematics, you ask?
The primary focus of his research is angiosperm systematics and evolutionary studies of crop plants and their wild relatives.
Right now, though, I want to explore how it was that systematics became "phylogenetic" in the first place.
Among the completely updated topics in the book are phylogenetic systematics, search algorithms and optimal foraging theory, comparative metabolism, the origins of life and evolution of multicellularity, and the evolution of life cycles.
Related fields often considered part of evolutionary biology are phylogenetics, systematics, and taxonomy.
These multiple forms of protoxylem architecture might be useful for systematics of euphyllophytes.
