Morphological Phylogenetics in the Genomic Age.

Current biology : CB - 5 Oct 2015

Lee Michael S Y, Palci Alessandro

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary trees underpin virtually all of biology, and the wealth of new genomic data has enabled us to reconstruct them with increasing detail and confidence. While phenotypic (typically morphological) traits are becoming less important in reconstructing evolutionary trees, they still serve vital and unique roles in phylogenetics, even for living taxa for which vast amounts of genetic information are...
