These groups are basically in agreement with the traditional classification based on morphological and life cycle data proposed by Hoare (1972) [ 4].
Based on EEF2 and some morphological data, we propose an alternative eukaryotic supergroup that includes cryptophytes, katablepharids, haptophytes, rhodophytes, and Viridiplantae.
According to physiological, phylogenetic and morphological data, it was proposed that three Absidia species, A. corymbifera, A. blakesleeana and A. hyalospora, should be reclassified as a separate family, Lichtheimiaceae fam.
Following several collection expeditions through the major agricultural areas of the world and based on morphological data, Vavilov [ 23] proposed an explanation to determine the centre of origin of cultivated plants and described three regions as centres of origin for apricot: a Chinese centre, a Central Asian centre and a Near East centre.
Both positions have been proposed based on morphological data.
Interestingly, a sister group relation between ectoprocts and phoronids had been previously proposed based on morphological data [ 57, 58].
A clade of scaphopods and cephalopods repeatedly has been proposed based on morphological data, sometimes with one or the other or both together allied with gastropods [ 1], and was recovered by molecular data [ 52] and broadly within some pan-molluscan molecular phylogenies [ 10, 21].
We take the complete concordance between such disparate methods and the morphological data as strong support for the biological significance of these proposed species relationships.
The authors proposed a new composite parameter combining functional and morphological data, named tumor vitality index, which may warrant additional exploration [ 83].
Based on all described fossil fleas hitherto but constrained by insufficient and limited morphological data shown on some described specimens, a conceptual phylogeny of fleas is proposed in Figure 3 to illustrate the evolution of fleas.
Other ultrasound techniques such as color coded intravascular ultrasound blood flow imaging [ 4] and de-correlation based flow measurements [ 5] have been proposed to extract flow information from cross-sectional IVUS data and display simultaneous morphological data and flow information.
