Culberson, CF 1986: Biogenetic relationships of the lichen substances in the framework of systematics. - The Bryologist89: 91-98. [RLL List # 128-21 / Rec.# 3781] Keywords: BIOGENETIC/ CHEMISTRY/ CLADONIA CHLOROPHAEA/ SYSTEMATICS/ REVIEW/ CLADISTICS
Abstract: 3 figures. 2 tables. [Biogenetic characters are used in a cladistic analysis rather than the chemical substances themselves. "The Cladonia chlorophaea group provides an example of how preliminary biogenetic hypotheses can lead to a cladogram for the 14 chemotypes presently known in the complex."]
