We present the first estimate of the phylogenetic relationships among all 916 extant and nine
recently extinct species of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera), a group that accounts for almost one …

▪ Abstract Recent developments of statistical methods in molecular phylogenetics are
reviewed. It is shown that the mathematical foundations of these methods are not well …

This book is both a manual for the computer program MacClade, describing its features and
potential uses, as well as a portrayal of a phylogenetic approach to studying diversity and …

The idea that all life on earth traces back to a common origin dates back at least to Charles
Darwin's Origin of Species. Ever since, biologists have tried to piece together parts of this …

We give a survey up to 1989 on the Steiner tree problems which include the four important
cases of euclidean, rectilinear, graphic, phylogenetic and some of their generalizations. We …

Amino acid sequence data are available for ribulose biphosphate carboxylase,
plastocyanin, cytochrome c, and ferredoxin for a number of angiosperm families. Cladistic …

Character congruence, the principle of using all the relevant data, and character
independence are important concepts in phylogenetic inference, because they relate …

Several prominent cladists have questioned the importance of fossils in phylogenctic
inference, and it is becoming increasingly popular to simply fit extinct forms, if they are …

A direct method for calculating expected data from an evolutionary model for two state
characters is described. The method uses four vectors p, q, r and s. p and q are the …
