ABSTRACT Biogeography of Amazonian fishes (2,500 species in vastly disjunct lineages) is
complex and has so far been approached only partially. Here, we tackle the problem on the …

The largest published phylogenetic analysis of early limbed vertebrates (Ruta M, Coates MI.
2007. Journal of Systematic Palaeontology 5: 69–122) recovered, for example …

Phenotypic characters are essential to study the evolution of extant and extinct life forms and
to reconstruct the tree of life. Inside the cladistics theory, parsimony is used by a large …

Abstract Aim Our aims were:(1) to use recently published phylogenies of six widely
distributed clades of highland‐type fishes in a comparative analysis that investigates …

The cladistic literature does not always specify the kind of multistate character treatment that
is applied for an analysis. Characters can be treated either as unordered transformation …

The modern bioregionalization revival is marked by an abundance of revised
biogeographical classifications along with new analyses at both local and global scales …

This study attempts to revise the search for natural groups and soil properties in Chinese
soils based on the ideas of biological classification and soil genesis. Previous attempts at …

Simulation-based and experimental studies are crucial to produce factual arguments to
solve theoretical and methodological debates in phylogenetics. However, despite the large …

We present the largest comparative biogeographical analysis that has complete coverage of
Australia's geography (20 phytogeographical subregions), using the most complete …

Abstract Lobotes, Datnioides and Hapalogenys are assigned to a newly defined
Acanthuriformes on the basis of their pattern of tooth replacement (termed posterolateral …
