Theoricity, observation and homology: a response to Pearson
(Springer, 2018-09)
An interesting metatheoretical controversy took place during the 1980’s and 1990’s between pattern and phylogenetic cladists. What was always at stake in the discussion was not how work in systematics should be carried ...
Cladistic analysis of self-grooming indicates a single origin of eusociality in corbiculate bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
(2015)
Behavioural traits have been used extensively in recent years as an important character source for making phylogenetic inferences. The phylogenetic positions of the members of the Apini subtribe are increasingly being ...
Problems with the application of cladistics to forest fragmentation studies
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2007-12)
Recently, Pellens et al. (2005) applied standard parsimony methods to the analysis of species communities in forest fragments. Their proposal consists of assembling a data matrix of species presence/absence for each fragment ...
Systematics of Cauquenia (Araneae : Zoropsidae), with comments on the patterns of evolution of cribellum and male tibial crack on Lycosoidea
(Csiro Publishing, 2013-10)
A new genus of the spider family Zoropsidae, Cauquenia, gen. nov., is proposed for Cauquenia maule, sp. nov., from the Maule region in central Chile. The familial placement is tested through the inclusion of Cauquenia in ...
Advances on tinamou phylogeny: an assembled cladistic study of the volant palaeognathous birds
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-08)
Tinamous are volant terrestrial birds, endemic to the Neotropics. Here, an inclusive phenotype-based phylogenetic study of the interrelationships among all extinct and living species of tinamous is conducted. In this ...
Cladistic analysis of continuous modularized traits provides phylogenetic signals in Homo evolution
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2008)
Evolutionary novelties in the skeleton are usually expressed as changes in the timing of growth of features intrinsically integrated at different hierarchical levels of development(1). As a consequence, most of the shape- ...
Phylogenetic analysis of the Camaenidae (Mollusca: Stylommatophora) with special emphasis on the american taxa
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2003-12)
The monophyly of the land snail family Camaenidae has been in doubt due to a disjunct bihemispheric distributional pattern and to the lack of morphological synapomorphies. A cladistic analysis is presented using an ingroup ...
The systematics and phylogeny of the Devonian subfamily Asteropyginae (Trilobita: Phacopida)
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-08)
Traditionally, the evolutionary scenarios of Asteropyginae have been organized in two major clades involving four pygidial patterns. The first cladistic analysis performed on the subfamily maintained the organization in ...
