Journal ArticleDOI
Philosophy and Phylogenetic Inference: A Comparison of Likelihood and Parsimony Methods in the Context of Karl Popper's Writings on Corroboration
TL;DR: It is argued that the concept of likelihood in general, and its application to problems of phylogenetic inference in particular, are highly compatible with Popper's philosophy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Phylogenetic Perspective on Evolution of Lizards of the Anolis grahami Series
TL;DR: A parsimony analysis of these data combined with previously published allozymic data yields a single most parsimonious tree with strong support for monophyly of the A. grahami series, the sister-group relationship between Anolis lineatopus and A. opalinus.
Journal ArticleDOI
The PhyloCode and the Distinction between Taxonomy and Nomenclature
TL;DR: The distinction between taxonomy and nomen clature is highlighted and used to explain two of Pickett's misunder standings about the PhyloCode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Branches in the lines of descent: Charles Darwin and the evolution of the species concept
TL;DR: An important shift related to the unified species concept has been emerging ever since Darwin reformulated the concept of species with an evolutionary basis, and the species category is effectively being decoupled from the hierarchy of taxonomic ranks and transferred to the hierarchical of biological organization.

TL;DR: The adaptations related to fossoriality likely facilitated movement of stem turtles into aquatic environments early in the groups' evolutionary history, and this ecology may have played an important role in stem turtles surviving the Permian/Triassic extinction event.
