Cladistic analysis is a mainstream method for building phylogenetic trees depicting evolutionary relationships between species. Cladistic analysis demand the construction of a data matrix of homology propositions in the form of a numerical code: how the homology propositions are coded in the matrix has a profound effect on the outcome of the analysis. The relationship between homology propositions and character coding is the subject discussed in this book. Postgraduated students and researchers in the fields of systematics, taxonomy and phylogenetic analysis will find that this comprehensive and stimulating volume helps crystalize the issues underpinning cladistic analysis.
