Testing homology by congruence: the pectoral girdle of turtles.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Oct 1996

Rieppel O

Abstract excerpt

The recent analysis of the homologies of the elements in the highly derived pectoral girdle of turtles is used as an example to clarify how character congruence tests conjectures of homology in cladistic analysis. Character congruence does not test alternative conjectures of similarity i.e. alter...
