Phylogenetic reconstruction--the method by which biologists examine
the relationship between living and extinct organisms in an effort
to identify evolutionary pathways--has seen radical changes in the
last ten years. But as rapid advances in mathematical, molecular,
developmental, and cladistic techniques have greatly improved
reconstruction efforts, they have also sparked controversy,
especially with regard to the assumptions and data underlying the
cladistic method. This book brings together contributions from a
wide range of practitioners in order to find common ground. By
examining numerous models from a variety of fields, the book serves
as a guide to the latest methods of classification and phylogeny
reconstruction and provides insights into the relative merits that
each approach has to offer. In particular, developmental studies
emerge as a significant factor in cladogram construction.
Splendidly written and wide-ranging in scope, Models in Phylogeny
Reconstruction will be welcomed by students and researchers in
systematic and evolutionary biology.
