Phylogenetic Analysis of Morphological Data (Smithsonian series in comparative evolutionary biology) - Hardcover
Synopsis
New methodological developments in morphological phylogenetics---including approaches for analyzing ontogenetic data, fossils, morphometric characters, intraspecific variation, and hybrid taxa---are summarized in this book. The actual practice of morphological phylogenetics is also evaluated, especially in regard to its controversial use in the study of the evolution of morphological characters.

Review
"Biologists, some with specialties, and a paleontologist summarize research on selected topics relating to using a phylogenetic framework to understand how plants and animals, their traits, and interactions between species evolve. The eight studies are from the 1996 symposium Morphological Data in Phylogenetic Analysis: Recent Progress and Unresolved Problems, held in St. Louis, Missouri."--Book News
Synopsis
In recent years, biologists have increasingly realized the importance of using phylogenies for understanding how organisms, traits and interactions between species evolve. This volume is dedicated to morphological phylogenetics. It should be a useful synthesis for all phyloegenetic biologists.
