MonoPhy: a simple R package to find and visualize monophyly issues [PDF]
PeerJ Computer Science, 2016 Background. The monophyly of taxa is an important attribute of a phylogenetic tree. A lack of it may hint at shortcomings of either the tree or the current taxonomy, or can indicate cases of incomplete lineage sorting or horizontal gene transfer ...

Evaluating the monophyly of Mammillaria series Supertextae (Cactaceae) [PDF]
PhytoKeys, 2021 Mammillaria (Cactaceae) taxonomy has been historically problematic due to the morphological variability and sympatry of the species. This has led to several proposals for infrageneric classification, including subgeneric, section and series categories ...

Molecules, morphology, and the monophyly of diapsid reptiles [PDF]
Contributions to Zoology, 2001 The morphological and molecular evidence for higher-level reptile relationships is reassessed. A combined analysis of 176 osteological, 40 soft anatomical, and 2903 (1783 aligned) molecular characters in 28 amniote taxa yields the traditional reptile tree.

ANOTHER MONOPHYLY INDEX: REVISITING THE JACKKNIFE [PDF]
Cladistics, 1995 Abstract — Randomization routines have quickly gained wide usage in phylogenetic systematies. Introduced a decade ago, the jackknife has rarely been applied in cladistic methodology. This data resampling technique was re‐investigated here as a means to discover the effect that taxon removal may have on the stability of the results obtained from ...

Phylogenomic Systematics of Ostariophysan Fishes: Ultraconserved Elements Support the Surprising Non‐Monophyly of Characiformes [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2017 .— Ostariophysi is a superorder of bony fishes including more than 10,300 species in 1100 genera and 70 families. This superorder is traditionally divided into five major groups (orders): Gonorynchiformes (milkfishes and sandfishes), Cypriniformes (carps

Wētā Aotearoa—Polyphyly of the New Zealand Anostostomatidae (Insecta: Orthoptera) [PDF]
InsectsThe Anostostomatidae of Aotearoa New Zealand are well-characterized at the genus and species level, but the higher-level systematics of the family as a whole remain poorly resolved.

Monophyly or paraphyly--the taxonomy of Holcoglossum (Aeridinae: Orchidaceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Recently, there have been a lot of intense debates about the acceptance/rejection of paraphyletic groups in biological classification. On the one hand, evolutionary classification states that similarity and common descent are two criteria for biological ...
