	Taxonomy and Phylogeny - EvoWiki
		Phylogenies are established by what distinctive features their members share to the exclusion of more distantly related organisms.
		One constructs phylogenies with this technique by trying to find the family tree that involves the fewest feature changes (steps), and thus the smallest amount of convergent evolution.
		Related to this conundrum is organisms that have performed much lateral gene transfer, and sometimes even lateral genome transfer (endosymbiosis), as many one-celled organisms have done.

	Phylogeny
		Phylogenies are now becoming applied to more and more areas of biology, including such diverse topics as community ecology, molecular studies of development, functional anatomy, and population genetics.
		Phylogenies are also being applied to very practical questions, such as identifying new diseases and their sources of transmission to humans.
		Anthony Bledsoe focuses on the use of cladistic analysis to infer the phylogeny of two important groups of Neotropical passerine birds -- the ovenbirds (Furnariinae) and the tapaculos (Rhinocryptidae) -- based on a combination of myological, molecular, and behavioral data.

	COMPARISONS, HOMOLOGY AND PHYLOGENY OF VERTEBRATES
		Phylogeny is not th e same as evolution, but is the result of the evolution of organisms.
		The confidence in a particular phylogeny depends upon the types of observations used in the attempts to disprove it as well as the continu ed failure to disprove the phylogeny.
		This is a phylogenetic definition of homology and is strictly noncircular in that homology is defined in terms of phylogeny and phylogeny is defined in terms of evolution.

	Phylogeny
		An accurate phylogeny for nematodes including their relationship to other animals has major consequences for our understanding of how diversity has evolved in morphology, genes, developmental mechanisms, behavior, and life history, but also for studies of comparative functional genomics.
		We need species phylogenies to allow discrimination between orthologues and paralogues in gene phylogenies.Discriminating orthologues from paralogues enables us to make predictions about the functions of genes in a genome for which there is little or no experimental data.
		Note that in detail, the phylogeny of this group, and its relationship to other groups, are likely to show much greater paraphyly than was recognized even in the phylogeny of De Ley and Blaxter (in De Ley and Blaxter, 2002).

	G307.NOTES.CH3
		The key to understanding the evolution and diversity of the dinosaurs is to determine their phylogeny (how they are related to each other and to the rest of the biota).
		We use phylogeny (Greek: phylum = tribe, genos = birth or origin) to show relationships of ancestors to descendants, therefore, phylogeny explains the history of descent of organisms.
		Based on the phenetic phylogeny (as discussed above), a stratophenetic phylogeny assumes that the evolutionary changes between ancestor and descendent is not so great as to seem implausible during the time interval between ancestor and descendent.

	Molecular Phylogeny
		In addition, sequence length is a limiting factor, in that the average gene (coding) or protein sequence (~1,000 nucleotides, ~350 amino acids) is usually not long enough to yield a robust phylogeny or time estimate, and therefore many genes and proteins must be used" (Hedges 2002, p.
		In many cases, phylogenies based on molecules are found to be robust and they are reinforced by subsequently discovered morphological or behavioural data.
		"The horizontal transfer of genes is often difficult to confirm by phylogeny alone because the short length of typical proteins (~300 residues) usually precludes the construction of a robust tree, and different methods of detection do not always agree.

		The best estimator for a species phylogeny might therefore not necessarily depend on the sole use of one set of characters (morphological or molecular), but on a combination of different characters that can prove to be a better estimator of species trees [8,13,21-24].
		The combined character phylogeny is partly congruent with the earlier phylogeny proposed by Carpenter in 1996, though there are some differences (Figure 7).
		The combined character phylogeny is largely congruent with the earlier phylogeny proposed by Carpenter in 1991 (Figure 8).

	Cichlid Research Home Page: Phylogeny
		A phylogeny is an expression of the evolutionary relationships of a group of animals.
		The purpose of a phylogeny is to illustrate which taxa (e.g., species, genera, etc) are most closely related to which other ones, and also, to illustrate the evidence that we have to support that relationship.
		An important point to remember is that there is a SINGLE, TRUE phylogeny, i.e., there was a particular path which evolution took leading to the current diversity of organisms inhabiting the earth.

		An improved understanding of their phylogeny will not only allow the intellectual satisfaction of discovering the "roots" of this major component of the world's biotic diversity, but will have important practical benefits as well.
		A well-supported and detailed phylogenetic framework is critical to the solution of major open questions such as the evolutionary origin of multicellularity, diversification of life-history strategies, the conquest of land, the nature of the relationship between ontogeny and phylogeny, and modes of evolution at the molecular level.
		Addressing a phylogenetic study of this enormous scale has also necessitated improvements in data handling and analysis that have broad applicability to phylogenetic studies of other organisms.

	Amazon.ca: Ontogeny and Phylogeny: Books: Stephen Jay Gould (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ontogeny and Phylogeny by Stephen Jay Gould is an enlightening book filled with facts, history, knowledge, science, sociology, biology and mixed with this is the Gould Factor.
		The same has to be said about Ontogeny and Phylogeny, as the development of the individual leads to the development of the whole (type).
		The illustrative bits of science follow as he discusses heterochrony and paedomophosis, showing how phylogeny relates to ontogeny, which I will grossly oversimplify: ontogeny selectively draws from phylogeny with occasional complete departures that may or may not be helpful (which is also true of the retained bits of phylogeny).

	Tree of Life: What is Phylogeny
		Evidence from morphological, biochemical, and gene sequence data suggests that all organisms on Earth are genetically related, and the genealogical relationships of living things can be represented by a vast evolutionary tree, the Tree of Life.
		New lineages generally retain many of their ancestral features, which are then gradually modified and supplemented with novel traits that help them to better adjust to the environment they live in.
		The Tree of Life thus provides a rigorous framework to guide research in all biological subdisciplines, and it is therefore an ideal model for the organization of biological knowledge.

	Ontogeny and Phylogeny (Stephen Jay Gould) - review
		Ontogeny and Phylogeny is a rather different kind of book (it has more in common with Time's Arrow, Time's Cycle than the essays), but it still has the characteristic Gould feel to it.
		The idea that the development of individuals is a progression through adult ancestral forms, epitomised in the saying "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny", has played an important part in the history of biology.
		Since the rejection of recapitulationist ideas in the early part of this century, however, the study of links between development and evolution has been relatively neglected.

	Tephritidae phylogeny
		Although much remains unknown about fruit fly phylogeny, many groups of Tephritidae have been analyzed to at least some degree, especially during the past decade, when rigorous cladistic studies and molecular methods were first utilized within the family.
		Relationships among the subfamilies and tribes of Tephritidae were analyzed by Korneyev (1999b,c) based on morphology, and by Han and McPheron (1994, 1997, 1999) based on DNA sequence analysis.
		Hancock (1986) also proposed a phylogeny that included most tribes of Trypetinae and Phytalmiinae, but some of the lower clades are not supported by apomorphic characters.
