Probabilistic Inference and the Concept of Total Evidence
1969My purpose is to examine a cluster of issues centering around the socalled statistical syllogism and the concept of total evidence. The kind of paradox that is alleged to arise from uninhibited use of the statistical syllogism is of the following sort.

Total-evidence phylogenetic hypothesis of Hexabothriidae Price, 1942
Parasitology InternationalFor the last 3 decades, the most cited phylogenetic hypothesis of the Hexabothriidae is that of Boeger & Kritsky's [1989, International Journal for Parasitology 19, 425-440] and subsequent revisions. This phylogeny was based on morphologic features and excluded two genera due to the lack of available specimens at the time - since then, four additional ...

Phylogeny and systematics of Protodrilidae (Annelida) inferred with total evidence analyses
Cladistics, 2014AbstractProtodrilidae is a group of small, superficially simple‐looking annelids, lacking chaetae and appendages, except for two prostomial palps. Originally considered to be one of the primitive “archiannelid” families, its affinity within Annelida is still highly debated.

THE CLADISTICS OF AMAURIS BUTTERFLIES: CONGRUENCE, CONSENSUS AND TOTAL EVIDENCE
Cladistics, 1992Abstract— Two data sets for 10 species of African milkweed butterflies (Nymphalidae, Danainae: one Danaus, two Tirumala, seven Amauris) have been analysed cladistically, separately and in combination. One data set comprised 32 morphological characters, the other comprised 68 chemical compounds from male scent organs.

Discussion: The Total Evidence Theorem for Probability Kinematics
Philosophy of Science, 1989L. J. Savage and I. J. Good have each demonstrated that the expected utility of free information is never negative for a decision maker who updates her degrees of belief by conditionalization on propositions learned for certain. In this paper Good's argument is generalized to show the same result for a decision maker who updates her degrees of belief ...

Evaluating the Impact and Detectability of Mass Extinctions on Total-Evidence Dating
Systematic BiologyAbstract Fossils are crucial for accurately dating phylogenetic trees because their ages provide vital constraints on the timing of macroevolutionary events, and their morphological characters offer key information on evolutionary rates and phylogenetic positions.

Total-evidence analyses of Crustacean evolution
2019Crustaceans are an ecologically and economically significant group of arthropods, being hyperdiverse and spanning marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Many crustaceans are ecosystem engineers, bioindicators, and keystone species, which are integral in maintaining ecosystem health and function.

Sampling, groundplans, total evidence and the systematics of arthropods
1998The outline of arthropod relationships was clearly and firmly established by Snodgrass (1938) (Figure 8.1). All work on these taxa since then concerns the support for, and discussion of the basic groups he delineated. Although the efforts of Tiegs, Manton, and Anderson (Tiegs and Manton, 1958; Manton, 1964, 1973, 1979; Anderson, 1979) to incorporate ...
