▪ Abstract The continuous flow of genomic data is creating unprecedented opportunities for
the reconstruction of molecular phylogenies. Access to whole-genome data means that …

When this classic work was first published in 1976, its central tenet--more is not necessarily
better--placed it in direct conflict with mainstream thought in economics. Within a few years …

Vertebrate palaeontology is a lively field, with new discoveries reported every week... and
not only dinosaurs! This new edition reflects the international scope of vertebrate …

Progressing gradually from babbling to meaningful sentences is something most babies do
naturally. But why do they? John L. Locke's answer constitutes a fascinating journey along …

The dinucleotide CpG is a “hotspot” for mutation in the human genome as a result of (1) the
modification of the 5′ cytosine by cellular DNA methyltransferases and (2) the consequent …

Methods such as maximum parsimony (MP) are frequently criticized as being statistically
unsound and not being based on any “model.” On the other hand, advocates of MP claim …

The parameter space of the phylogenetic tree estimation problem consists of three
components, T, t, and θ. The tree topology T is a discrete entity that is not a proper statistical …

We have determined the degree of single‐copy DNA divergence among the extant members
of the Hominoidea employing the technique of DNA‐DNA hybridization. The species studied …

Standard formulas of gene frequency change under genetic drift are used to derive the
probability of obtaining incorrect phylogenetic information for three species due to …
