Tracing Ainu and Pre-Ainu Cultural Continuity Through Cladistic Analysis of Faunal Assemblages
Cladistics (Hennig 1950, 1965, 1966), a method for establishing evolutionary relationships, is used to compare faunal assemblages from Jōmon (14,000-500 BC; 14,000–2700 cal. BP), Epi-Jōmon (3rd – 7th century; 2700-1500 cal. BP), Satsumon (7th century - 13th century AD; ca. 1500-800 cal. BP), and …

Palaeobiology of Silurian trilobites from North Greenland
… taxa. Selected effaced genera are analysed using cladistics, confirming the polyphyletic nature of effacement. Counts of trilobite sclerites from thirteen reef localities are analysed using cluster and correspondence analyses to identify trilobite associations, and taphonomic signatures. Seven …

Organisational phylogenesis : Developing and evaluating a memetic methodology.
… who has argued that, while a science of memetic cladistics may be both desirable and feasible, it remains unlikely. On the other hand one of Dawkins' most famous critics, Mary Midgley, heralds dark forebodings that one-day memes may be given actual credence. The present study necessitated the …

Estudos comparados sobre morfologia de imaturos e comportamento de Sphecinae (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Sphecidae)
… of cocoon were selected and examined through a cladistics analyses. Due the occurrence of a lot of missing values of egg and cocoon in the characters matrix, two analyses were separately carried out, one only with larval characters and other combined characters of larva, egg, and cocoon. The …

Systematics of the macrourid fishes
… context of gadiform ecology and evolution. In cladistics, parsimony plays the role of Popper's-empirical concept of simplicity, as a method of estimating the hypothesis of highest empirical support. Assumptions are made about the likely pathways of evolution in the way the characters are coded. …

The taxonomy, phylogeny and palaeobiogeography of the trilobite families pliomeridae and encrinuridae: reconstructing the Ordovician world using evolving lineages
… of the Encrinuridae was investigated using cladistics. This resulted in the diagnosis of seven subfamilies; five of pliomerids (including one erected herein) and two subfamilies of encrinurid: the Cybelinae and Encrinurinae. Some 75 genera and 12 subgenera are also diagnosed on the basis of …

Análise filogenética do gênero Lissoscarta Stal, 1869 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae)
… the methodology of Phylogenetic Systematics (cladistics) is presented in this study. The external morphology of Lissoscarta with regard to the characters employed in the analysis, as well as the morphology of the male genitalia and the coloration, is detailly described. The following outgroups …

Description of Tanytrachelos ahynis and its implications for the phylogeny of Protorosauria
Tanytrachelos ahynis, a small (21 cm long) aquatic protorosaur from the Upper Triassic sediments in the Cow Branch Formation of the Newark Supergroup, has been briefly described in 1979 by P. E. Olsen. A growing addition of nearly 200 specimens and the availability of CT imaging allow for an …

Cladistic Analysis of the Paleozoic Bryozoan Families Monticuliporidae and Mesotrypidae
Two closely related families of Ordovician bryozoans, the Monticuliporidae and the Mesotrypidae, collectively contain 12 genera that have been reclassified repeatedly by various authors. Using published illustrations for the type specimens of each genus, character states for 267 morphological …

Phylogenie der Verbenaceae : kladistische Untersuchungen mit morphologischen und chemischen Merkmalen
Die klassische Gliederung der Verbenaceae stammt von BRIQUET aus den Jahren 1895-1912. Kladistische Analysen mit molekularen oder morphologischen Merkmalen fehlen bisher. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, eine kladistische Analyse der Verbenaceae mit morphologischen und chemischen Merkmalen …

Kladistische Untersuchung mit morphologischen und chemischen Merkmalen zur Gliederung der Lamiaceae
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden in einer kladistischen Analyse basierend auf morphologischen und chemischen Merkmalen weitere Anhaltspunkte für die Stellung von Gmelina, Premna und Anisomeles innerhalb der Lamiaceae gewonnen. <br>Ausgehend von einer bereits veröffentlichten Datenmatrix unserer …

The Text of Galatians and Its History
<p>This dissertation investigates the text of Paul's Epistle to the Galatians and its history, how it changed over time. This dissertation performs a stemmatic analysis of 92 witnesses to the text of Galatians, using cladistic methods developed by computational biologists, to construct an …

Comparative morphology and phylogeny of anomalodesmatan bivalves
Anomalodesmatans comprise a large, ancient and ecologically diverse group of marine bivalves, but are nonetheless inconspicuous in most extant shallow water communities. For various reasons, which include their present scarcity and a bewildering array of disparate morphologies, representatives of …

Evolutionary patterns within the Anthozoa (phylum Cindaria) reflected in ribosomal gene sequences
… within the Subclass Octocorallia. Traditional cladistics using morphological data have resulted in disagreements over taxonomic relationships, primarily due to a paucity of morphological characters within the Anthozoa and ambiguity about the significance of any given character. I have used DNA …

Systematics and Evolution of the Californian Trapdoor Spider Genus Aptostichus Simon (Araneae: Mygalomorphae: Euctenizidae)
Chapter One: Raven's 1985 phylogenetic analysis of the Mygalomorphae placed a number of previously unrelated genera into the rastelloid family Cyrtaucheniidae. Although Goloboff's 1993 reanalysis of mygalomorph relationships retained the familial composition of the Rastelloidina it di not support …

Phylogenetische Untersuchungen an Schädeln der Neuweltaffen (Platyrrhini)
In der vorliegenden Studie wurde das statistische Verfahren der Q-Faktorenanalyse mit Varimax-Rotation (siehe z.B. BORTZ, 1993) angewandt, um komplexe Merkmale aus Schädelmaßen der Neuweltaffen (Platyrrhini) und verwandter Taxa zu ermitteln. Der Gedanke hinter diesem Ansatz war, dass Ähnlichkeiten …
