Conservation Priorities and Phylogenetic Pattern

TL;DR: Linder's (1995) comparison of alternative criteria for prioritizing species for conservation suggests that maximizing "feature diversity" based on the phylogenetic diversity measure (PD; Faith 1992) is incompatible with other criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetric binary similarity measures

TL;DR: A new coefficient, “C”, is introduced which overcomes problems and leads to homogeneous classifications in the sense described above and further general recommendations are made for the use of these coefficients in various contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Homoplasy as pattern: multivariate analysis of morphological convergence in Anseriformes

TL;DR: A multivariatc model for taxa and characters is presented that represents taxa as points in an ordination space such that shared derived character states define groups of taxa or regions in this space.

On corroboration: a reply to carpenter

TL;DR: It is shown that the view of corroboration in cladistics presented by Carpenter fails to satisfy the essential requirement for Popperian corroboration, in that it does not reflect a low probability, and it is exactly this weakness that is overcome through the interpretation (Faith and Cranston, 1992) of the PTP test as providing a measure of corroborations incladistics.
