It is managed by the Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG) of the SSC- Species Survival Commission of the IUCN -International Union for Conservation of Nature. The GISD was developed as part of the global initiative on invasive species led by the Global Invasive Species Programme GISP and was/is supported through partnerships with the National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII), Manaaki Whenua-Landcare Research and the University of Auckland. The GISD focuses on invasive alien species that threaten native biodiversity and natural ecosystems and covers all taxonomic groups from micro-organisms to animals and plants in all ecosystems. As the database is continually being populated with species information, please check back on a regular basis for updates.

Archaeplastida The Archaeplastida (or Plantae sensu lato (in the broad sense)) are a major group of eukaryotes, comprising the red algae (Rhodophyta), the green algae and the land plants, together with a small group of freshwater unicellular algae called glaucophytes.[1] The chloroplasts of the glaucophytes are surrounded by two membranes, suggesting they developed directly from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria. In all other groups, the chloroplasts are surrounded by three or four membranes, suggesting they were acquired secondarily from red or green algae. The cells of the Archaeplastida typically lack centrioles and have mitochondria with flat cristae. The archaeplastidans fall into two main evolutionary lines. Taxonomy[edit] The consensus in 2005, when the group consisting of the glaucophytes, red and green algae and land plants was named 'Archaeoplastida', was that it was a clade, i.e. was monophyletic. Various names have been given to the group. To avoid ambiguity, other names have been proposed.

Archaeplastida Die Archaeplastida sind eine der sechs Gruppen von Eukaryoten, also Lebewesen mit Zellkernen, die es nach der Systematik der Eukaryoten von Adl u.a. 2005 gibt. Zu ihnen gehören die Grünalgen, die Rotalgen und die Pflanzen. Merkmale[Bearbeiten] Die Archaeplastida besitzen photosynthetisch aktive Plastiden mit Chlorophyll a als Hauptfarbstoff. Die Plastiden stammen von einer primären Endosymbiose mit einem Cyanobakterium. Die Plastiden können in manchen Gruppen sekundär verloren gegangen oder reduziert sein. Systematik[Bearbeiten] Adl u.a. gliedern die Archaeplastida in drei Gruppen ohne klassische Rangstufen: Literatur[Bearbeiten] Sina M. Weblinks[Bearbeiten]
