| APPLICATION OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS TO CLASSIFICATION OF TETRACORALS |
| Although Tetracorals have formed the object of specific study fortwo hundred years, the results of previous investigations, show certaindegree of incongruity owing to different personal experiences and different viewpoints. While identifying and classifying similar genera andspecies, it was not uncommon to emphasize a certain character andignore the other features to such an extent that even individual variations were mistaken for specific variations thus artificially increasingthe number of new taxa and causing confusions to the taxonomy ofcorals. In this paper, four genera-Yuanophyllum, Lophophyllum, Koninckophyllum and Arachnolasma are studied by means of multivariate statistical methods: namely, theory of quantification transforming the descriptive features into qualitative variables; characteristic analysis selectingvariables; correspondence analysis and discriminative analysis distinguishing the different genera and ascertaining a mathematical model ofclassification. It is concluded that Arachnolasma is apparently independent, Koninckophyllum and Yuanophyllum have common transitional formswhich show their affinity close to Lophophyllum and Yuanophyllum aredifferent evolutional stages of the same series and, finally that Lophorphyllum is by no means an independent genus. |
