In the past two decades, molecular investigations of systematic problems have progressed
from uncommon curiosities to a standard means of elucidating phylogenetic history. This …

The field of plant molecular systematics is expanding rapidly, and with it new and refined
methods are coming into use. This paper reviews recent advances in experimental methods …

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 …

This study draws on data from numerous sources that support the paradigm of natural
hybridization as an important evolutionary process. The review of these data results in a …

The coding region of the matK gene and two intergenic spacers, psbA‐trnH and trnL (UAA)‐
trnF (GAA), of cpDNA were sequenced to study phylogenetic relationships of 32 Paeonia …

A new method for weighting characters according to their homoplasy is proposed; the
method is non‐iterative and does not require independent estimations of weights. It is based …

The long-awaited revision of the industry standard on phylogenetics Since the publication of
the first edition of this landmark volume more than twenty-five years ago, phylogenetic …

Complete small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (ssrDNA) and partial (D1–D3) large subunit
ribosomal RNA gene (lsrDNA) sequences were used to estimate the phylogeny of the …

Abstract A 2,479-base pair mitochondrial DNA fragment was sequenced for eight
chromosome races of Sceloporus grammicus from central Mexico to estimate their …

Previous analyses of Squamata or" Lacertilia" were hampered by the lack of a well-
corroborated hypothesis of relationhips within Lepidosauria and their fossil relatives. The …
