Journal ArticleDOI
Confidence limits on phylogenies: an approach using the bootstrap.
TL;DR: The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary trees from DNA sequences: A maximum likelihood approach
TL;DR: A computationally feasible method for finding such maximum likelihood estimates is developed, and a computer program is available that allows the testing of hypotheses about the constancy of evolutionary rates by likelihood ratio tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenies and the Comparative Method
TL;DR: A method of correcting for the phylogeny has been proposed, which specifies a set of contrasts among species, contrasts that are statistically independent and can be used in regression or correlation studies.
Book
The Genetic Basis of Evolutionary Change
TL;DR: A new book that many people really want to read will you be one of them? Of course, you should be as discussed by the authors, even some people think that reading is a hard to do, you must be sure that you can do it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cases in which Parsimony or Compatibility Methods will be Positively Misleading
TL;DR: Parsimony or minimum evolution methods were first introduced into phylogenetic inference by Camin and Sokal (1965), and a number of other parsimony methods have since appeared in the systematic literature and found widespread use in studies of molecular evolution.
