Taxa proposed for sampling of non-nucleotide characters

David McLaughlin is coordinating the sampling of non-nucleotide characters. The emphasis in character sampling is on subcellular (e.g., flagellar apparatus, nuclear division, etc.) and biochemical traits (e.g,. cell wall carbohydrates). Because the sampling of many of these characters is more labor and time intensive than molecular data, taxon sampling is focused at the ordinal level. Anyone wishing to participate in this part of the project should contact David.
