Are mimics monophyletic? The necessity of phylogenetic hypothesis tests in character evolution.

BMC evolutionary biology - 3 Aug 2010

Oliver Jeffrey C, Prudic Kathleen L

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The processes governing the origin and maintenance of mimetic phenotypes can only be understood in a phylogenetic framework. Phylogenetic estimates of evolutionary relationships can provide a context for analyses of character evolution; however, when phylogenetic estimates conflict, rigorous analyses of alternative evolutionary histories are necessary to determine the likelihood of a specific history...
