Homo luzonensis and the role of homoplasy in the morphology of hominin insular species. [PDF]
CladisticsAbstract Homo luzonensis lived during the upper Pleistocene in the northern Philippines, east of the Wallace line. The few specimens attributed to this species show a mosaic of plesiomorphies for the genus Homo and apomorphies found in upper Pleistocene Homo species.

African harps as units of cultural evolution: a cladistic analysis on their morphology [PDF]
Evolutionary Human SciencesIn Africa, harps exhibit significant morphological diversity, yet their historical trajectory remains largely underexplored. Phylogenetic reconstruction methods offer valuable tools for understanding this diversity and the relationships between groups of

Geosciences, 2023 Using cladistic phylogenies (cladograms) to evaluate stratigraphy (taxon distributions and correlations) necessitates various assumptions that include all of the assumptions built into the cladogram, assuming the cladogram is “correct” and that new taxa ...

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2023 The genus Lacronia Strand, 1942 is herein revised, and a maximum parsimony phylogenetic analysis of morphological characters (30 taxa, 115 characters, 2962 scorings) is performed to test its monophyly.

Menzerath–Altmann’s Law of Syntax in RNA Accretion History
Life, 2021 RNA evolves by adding substructural parts to growing molecules. Molecular accretion history can be dissected with phylogenetic methods that exploit structural and functional evidence.

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 Cladistic analyses will be inaccurate if based on inaccurate data. Most blastozoan taxa were defined before cladistics was proposed. Redescription of precladistic taxa should be a priority.

Morphological and ITS-based Phylogenetic Studies of Lonicera L.(Caprifoliaceae) Species Growing in Iran [PDF]
Journal of Genetic Resources, 2022 Genus Lonicera has members that have opposite, narrowly elliptic to obovate leaves and yellow-white, red, or purple-red corollas together with capitate stigmas and undulated calyxes.

Multiple optimality criteria support Ornithoscelida [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 A recent study of early dinosaur evolution using equal-weights parsimony recovered a scheme of dinosaur interrelationships and classification that differed from historical consensus in a single, but significant, respect; Ornithischia and Saurischia were ...
