Taxonomists specializing in different groups once based phylogenetic analysis only on morphological data; molecular data was used more rarely. In addition, morphological analyses help identify potential biases in molecular analyses. Although molecular systematics is routine today, the use of morphological data continues to be important, especially for phylogenetic placement of many taxa known only from fossils and rare or difficult to collect species.
This book is an up-to-date revision of methods and principles of phylogenetic analysis of morphological data. And finally, scenarios with respect to morphology continue to motivate biologists: the beauty of a cheetah or a baobab does not lie in their DNA sequence, but instead on what they are and do! It is also a general guide for using the computer program TNT in the analysis of such data.
The book covers the main aspects of
