The effect of natural selection on the performance of maximum parsimony [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Maximum parsimony is one of the most commonly used and extensively studied phylogeny reconstruction methods. While current evaluation methodologies such as computer simulations provide insight into how well maximum parsimony reconstructs ...

A comparison of phylogenetic network methods using computer simulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 We present a series of simulation studies that explore the relative performance of several phylogenetic network approaches (statistical parsimony, split decomposition, union of maximum parsimony trees, neighbor-net, simulated history recombination upper ...

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 ...

The Evaluations Of Taxonomic Classifications In The Genus Trifolium L. Based On ITS Sequences
Sakarya Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi, 2022 The genus Trifolium L. belonging to family Fabaceae is represented by about 255 species in the world. Two classifications based on the sections or subgenus are commonly used by the researchers in the taxonomically evaluation of the genus Trifolium ...

The relationships of the Euparkeriidae and the rise of Archosauria [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 For the first time, a phylogenetic analysis including all putative euparkeriid taxa is conducted, using a large data matrix analysed with maximum parsimony and Bayesian analysis. Using parsimony, the putative euparkeriid Dorosuchus neoetus from Russia is

The phylogenetic relationships of geoemydid turtles from the Eocene Messel Pit Quarry: a first assessment using methods for continuous and discrete characters [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The geoemydid turtles of the Eocoene Messel Pit Quarry of Hesse, Germany, are part of a rich Western European fossil record of testudinoids. Originally referred to as “Ocadia” kehreri and “Ocadia” messeliana, their systematic relationships remain unclear.
