Units being classified | Sphere in which applicable | |
Taxonomic species (分類学的種) | Taxa; groups of morphologically similar individuals | Groups with morphological differences that are useful in formal classification |
Biological species (生物学的種) | Sexually reproducing population systems | Sexual organisms on a single time level |
Successional species (遷移種) | Phyletic lineages | Uniparental organisms, including asexual and parasexual organisms |
Biosystematic species (系統学的種) | Fertility groups | Sexual plant groups which have been artificially hybridized in the experimental garden |
Good species (良い種)One taxonomic species = one biological speciesSeveral taxonomic species = one biological species Several taxonomic species = syngameon (sunsu Grant 1981) Table. Biological species and stage of diversgence.

genetics – micro-evolution (Maekawa 1950) Characters in multifaceted nature (多面性の形質)= characters that reflect the phylesis1. structure of flaggella (鞭毛構造)
Ex. Phycomycetes (藻菌類)
Basidiomycetes (担子菌): basidiospore, dicaryon
Chytridiales (ツボカビ類): uniflagellate flaggella (単毛) → the common character in Phycomycetes is only noncellular structrue 2. chemical structural components in cell wall3. assimilatory pigment → assimilates 4. formation mode and behavior of reproductive cells
Ex. Rhizophydium (Zygomycetes)________♀: transfer of cell contents |
ascogonium (造嚢器) / antheridium (造卵器) → trichogyne (受精毛) → ascogenous hypha (造嚢糸), forming 2n → forming ascus (担子器) Ex. biosynthesis of lysin – two pathways (Vögel 1960) AAA-pathway: α-KG acid + CH3COO-Coenzyme A → L-α-aminoadaphic δ-semialdehyde → lysin bacteria, cyanophyta, green algae, dichonomycetes DAP-pathway: L-asparatic-α-semialdehyde + pyruvic acid → L-α-ε-diamino pimelic acid → lysin Phycomycetes, ascomycetes, basidiomycetes → dichonomycetes is essentially different from the other fungal taxa Characters in tendency (偏向性の形質)1. number of flagella (鞭毛数)2. life phase (生活相) Ex. life phase (Maekawa 1947) – considered as interfacial film
1. virus phase

Character displacement (形質置換)Fig. Character displacement inferred from character states in sympatry (同所) and allopatry (異所) (Grant 1972). Ex. Drosophilla pavlistrum complex
allopatry ___________sympatry Ex. Litoria ewingii vs L. verreauxi differences in sounds (or calls) Ex. Phlox
____________allopatry sympatry Varation (変異)1942 Mayer E: Geographycal race (≈ ecotype)relationships of distribution between relative species: sympatric vs allopatric 1949, 1963 Anderson E: Introgressive hybridization
introgressive genes to different race(s) in allopatric region(s), due to geological factors, etc. 1963 Anderson 1963: Introgression = hybridization of habitatsSummary individuals [genes] → local population (forma) [genes, chromosome] → ecotype (variety) [genes, chromosome] → ecospecies (species) → coenospecies (species) → comparium (species or genus) ramet (ラメート): all shoots have the same genotype Ex. populations propagated by division = one clone Evolutional entities (or units)

Race (レース)Geographical racescontinuous geographical race – inappropriate because race is discontinuousdisjunctive gegographical race Ex. Gilia latifolia (continuous distribution), G. leptantha (disjunctive) – sympatric = can breed between the races |
ecological (geograpical) race
Ex. savanna, slope of alpine zone
Sun races: large flower – pollinator = insect (Huxley 1938) Cline (クライン)Ex. Chenopodium rubrum (Cumming 1963)
34.3°N 50.2°N 60.8°N 62.8°N
also observed on cultivated plants Selection factors on race formation1922 Turesson: race is classified into two types:
1. adaptation to major environmental factors in a given habitat
Ex. Geum, Potentilla, Campanula, etc. → edaphic factor / biotic factor Isolation mechanisms (隔離機構)Table 2.1. classification of isolation types1 Geographical isolation (地理的隔離) 2 Ecological isolation (生態的隔離) 3 Reproductive isolation (生殖的隔離)
a) Seasonal isolation
1-3c: External isolation or premating isolation *: mechanical isolation, ethological isolation Semi-species (半種)1. progressive branching (漸進的分岐) Ex. Catalpa bignoides (USA), C. ovata (China)Ex. Pleatnus racemosa (California), P. wrightii (Arizona)
→ convenient when treated as taxonomic species

semi-sepcies drived by semi-species: Ex. Geum rivale × G. urbanum, Aquilegia formosa × A. pubescens
Iris hexagona var. giganticaerulea × I. fulva Ecological species (生態種)Ecotype (エコタイプ) ≈ ecospecies (生態種)Same species with different characters along environmental gradientProduct arising as a result of the response of the genotype of an organism to the particular habitat in which it lives. For example, Plantago maritima has a height of about 17.5 cm in waterlogged mud and 56 cm in fertile meadow. Cf. phenotpye plasticity Ecocline (エコクライン)consisting of ecotypes that exhibit gradual phenotypic and/or genetic differences along environmental gradientsIsozyme (アイソザイム)= enzyme gene or isoenzymeallozyme = allelic isozyme multiple gene = non-allelic isozyme |
