Zool., 18:374385.-Characters that are reliable for cladistic inference are those that are consistent with the true phyletic relationships, that is, those that have little homoplasy. A set of cladistically reliable characters are correlated with each other in a particular non-linear fashion here referred to as hierarchic correlation…

A Numerical Approach to Phylogenetic Systematics

Principles abstracted from Hennig (1966) are used as axioms to form a quantitative analog of phylogenetic systematics and a close connection is demonstrated between phylogenetics and most parsinlonious trees.

Cases in which Parsimony or Compatibility Methods will be Positively Misleading

Parsimony or minimum evolution methods were first introduced into phylogenetic inference by Camin and Sokal (1965), and a number of other parsimony methods have since appeared in the systematic literature and found widespread use in studies of molecular evolution.

Testing and weighting characters

A reasonable justification for an a priori weighting scheme within a falsificationist approach to phylogeny is provided, which demonstrates the indispensable necessity of its application.

Morphological Correlations in Evolution: Consequences for Phylogenetic Analysis

It is illustrated that character weighting provides potential insights into both systematic relationships and the evolution of character complexes, and some of the reasons that the assumption of independence of characters may be violated for morphological features are reviewed.

CLADISTICS: WHAT'S IN A WORD?

It is suggested that cladistics is being redefined in ways that contradict the practices and principles responsible for its pre‐eminence in phylogenetic inference.

A simple parsimony-based approach to assess ancestor-descendant relationships

It is argued that strictly adhering to cladist epistemology is untenable and that the authors must seek new formal methods to find ancestral species as well as ancestral higher taxa.

Strongest Evidence: Maximum Apparent Phylogenetic Signal as a New Cladistic Optimality Criterion

A new method for phylogenetic inference, Strongest Evidence (SE), is described, which holds that fewer required evolutionary steps in a character indicates stronger support for a tree.

A Rational Basis for a Priori Character Weighting

It is concluded that a priori weighting is the only noncircular approach for weighting of characters in the construction or recognition of groups of taxa, but that no objective method of a priora weighting has been proposed to date.

Strongest Evidence: Maximum Apparent Phylogenetic Signal as a New Cladistic Optimality Criterion☆

A new method for phylogenetic inference, Strongest Evidence (SE), is described, which holds that fewer required evolutionary steps in a character indicates stronger support for a tree.

An operational method for selecting character sets is illustrated, an estimate of the genealogy that produced the species is derived from these sets, and this estimate is presented as a phylogeny.

ESTIMATION OF CONSERVATISM OF CHARACTERS BY CONSTANCY WITHIN BIOLOGICAL POPULATIONS

  • 1966
An argument is presented to show how it may be inferred which characters are most likely to be conservative, at least in the sense that it is of great biological importance: it is important to the survival of the organism.

A method of selecting from a data matrix the characters most likely to lead to valid phylogenetic conclusions is put forward, based on the concept of a uniquely derived character and its logical…
