DNA-hybridisation Studies of Marsupials and their Implications for Metatherian Classification

Abstract: We review past DNA-hybridisation studies of marsupials and present a reanalysis of the data, utilising results from our and additional studies to formulate and rationalise a new classification of Marsupialia. In the reanalysis, 13 individual DNA-hybridisation matrices, many lacking some pairwise comparisons, were sutured in stages to provide the basis for generating a tree of 101 marsupials plus an outgroup eutherian; a fourteenth matrix provided data for a tree including eight additional eutherians and a mono… Show more

“…CAIC uses a phylogenetic tree to partition variance among the species into independent comparisons or linear contrasts, with each contrast made at a different node in the phylogeny. A completely resolved phylogenetic tree was compiled from the literature and is reproduced in figure 1 (George 1986(George , 1988Butler 1988;Novacek 1993;Kirsch et al 1997;Shoshani & McKenna 1998;Allard et al 1999;Fleagle 1999). Branch lengths were set to be equivalent, assuming a punctuational model of change (Purvis & Rambaut 1995).…”
