Consistency and Monophyly [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 1964 The three factors in phylogenetic taxonomy are phylogeny, the taxonomic schema, and the relation between the two. Of the three factors in the phylogenetic program, only phylogeny is of an empirical nature. The structure of the taxonomic schema is entirely a matter of logic, and the relation which this schema is to have to phylogeny is primarily a ...

Monophyly of the Agoniatinae (Characiformes: Characidae)
Zootaxa, 2013The Characidae is the most diverse family of Neotropical fishes, currently encompassing more than one thousand valid spe-cies. Some subgroups within this family still lack phylogenetic definitions, being diagnosed on the basis of combination of characters, a common procedure in pre-cladistic studies. Agoniatinae, currently composed by two valid species,

Phylogenomics supports the monophyly of the Cercozoa
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2019The phylum Cercozoa consists of a diverse assemblage of amoeboid and flagellated protists that forms a major component of the supergroup, Rhizaria. However, despite its size and ubiquity, the phylogeny of the Cercozoa remains unclear as morphological variability between cercozoan species and ambiguity in molecular analyses, including phylogenomic ...

Mitochondrial phylogeny of hedgehogs and monophyly of Eulipotyphla
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2003We sequenced the complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of three insectivores: the long-eared hedgehog Hemiechinus auritus, the Japanese mole Mogera wogura, and the greater Japanese shrew-mole Urotrichus talpoides. These mtDNA data together with other previously sequenced mtDNAs were analyzed using a maximum likelihood method to infer their phylogenetic ...

Non-monophyly of the monogeneans?
International Journal for Parasitology, 1998There is currently no congruence between phylogenies based on morphology, in which the Monogenea are considered a monophylum, and molecular phylogenies based on 18S or 28S rDNA, in which the Monogenea are never considered monophyletic. However, all analyses based on morphology and sperm characters or molecular data found constantly the two subgroups ...

Monophyly and Associated Terms
Systematic Zoology, 1971Ashlock, Peter D. (Dept. of Entomology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kans. 66044) 1971. Monophyly and associated ternm. Syst. Zool., 20:63-69.-Most definitions of the term monophyly are ambiguous because they do not limit the common ancestor sufficiently. Simpson's (1961) definition does not define monophyly; rather, it attempts to define a nameable

Monophyly, Paraphyly, and Natural Kinds [PDF]
Biology & Philosophy, 2005 A long-standing debate has dominated systematic biology and the ontological commitments made by its theories. The debate has contrasted individuals and the part – whole relationship with classes and the membership relation. This essay proposes to conceptualize the hierarchy of higher taxa is terms of a hierarchy of homeostatic property cluster natural ...

Calibrating the bootstrap test of monophyly
International Journal for Parasitology, 1993It has been suggested that the bootstrap test of monophyly is too conservative, i.e. the test rejects the hypothesis of monophyly when it is true far too often. Here, a method called the iterated bootstrap is described which estimates by randomization the probabilities associated with rejecting the hypothesis of monophyly when it is true and accepting ...

Monophyly of the Piciformes: A Reply to Olson
The Auk, 1983Abstract Olson (1983) questioned the hypothesis that the order Piciformes is monophyletic and suggested instead that each piciform suborder is allied with a nonpiciform group. His attempt to discredit the synapomorphies joining the Galbulae and Pici is refuted by corrections of his interpretations of previous work. The Piciformes share a

The PhyloCode, types, ranks and monophyly: a response to Pickett
Cladistics, 2005AbstractA report from the First International Phylogenetic Nomenclature Meeting recently published in Cladistics conveys several misconceptions about the PhyloCode and presents an erroneous interpretation of discussions that took place at that meeting.
