Abstractions
Taxonomy is often seen as a dusty, old-fashioned science, but the molecular insights gained from examining species' DNA have invigorated the newer field of phylogenetics — and helped scientists classify organisms by reconstructing their evolutionary relationships. On page 312, Sean Graham, a plant molecular systematist at the University of British Columbia in Canada, and his colleagues show how the Hydatellaceae, a group of aquatic plants that has defied traditional classification, can provide clues to the evolution of flowering plants.
