Character Stability in 39 Data Sets

“…Characters from each data set were randomly bipartitioned 30 times and phenograms as well as estimated cladograms computed from the resulting paired submatrices. The number of bipartitions is b Data sources were: (1) Matthews, 1975; (2) Archer, 1976; (3) Throckmorton, 1968;(4) Penny et al, 1982;(5) Heyer, 1975;(6) Heyer and Liem, 1976;(7) Blackith and Blackith, 1968;(8) Kilpatrick and Zimmerman, 1975;(9) Wake and Ozet, 1969;(10) Richardson, 1983;(11) Feder, 1979;(12) Presch, 1980;(13) Cundall, 1981;(14) Young, 1981;(15) Bolick, 1981;(16) Bennett, 1980;(17) Camin and Sokal, 1965;(18) Kress and Stone, 1983;(19) Schuh and Polhemus, 1980;(20) Kluge, 1976;(21) Bolick, 1982;(22) Lundberg, 1972. c Number in parentheses (n') indicates equivalent number of binary characters. Data sets 1-13 have binary characters; 14-22 have multistate ordered characters.…”

Seventy-five years of mammalogy, 1919-1994

“…Some of the earliest systematic studies employing protein electrophoresis pertained to the derivation of phylogenetic relationships among mammalian taxa. The rodent genus Peromyscus has received considerable attention over the years (Avise et al, 1974a(Avise et al, , 1974b(Avise et al, , 1979cBowers et al, 1973; Kilpatrick and Zimmerman, 1975;Rennert and Kilpatrick, 1986;Robbins et al, 1985;Schmidly et al, 1985;Zimmerman et al, 1975Zimmerman et al, , 1978, and electrophoresis has helped resolve many taxonomic problems within this diverse genus. Robert Baker and colleagues (Arnold et al, 1982(Arnold et al, , 1983aBaker et al, 1981; have conducted a large number of electrophoretic studies on phyllostomoid bats, both within and among genera.…”
