Choosing among alternative "phylogenetic" species concepts

1995-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Several different "phylogenetic" species concepts have been proposed, and we consider how to choose among them. There appear to be two main approaches. "Character-based" concepts define species on the possession of characters, whereas "history-based" concepts are based on historical relatedness. Under the latter view, characters may be used to discover species in practice but they are not viewed as defining attrib...
