- Data from amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers show i...
- We investigate the distribution of sizes of fragments obtained from the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) marker technique. We find that empirical distributions obtained in two plant speci...

- PALEONTOLOGY: Homoplasy in the Mammalian Ear.
- The separation of the middle ear bones from the mandible is considered a defining feature of all modern mammals. But did this event happen once in a primitive mammalian ancestor or independently in th...

- Step matrices and the interpretation of homoplasy.
- Assumptions about the costs of character change, coded in the form of a step matrix, determine most-parsimonious inferences of character evolution on phylogenies. We present a graphical approach to ex...

- Homoplasy and adaptation in the atelid postcranium.
- Homoplasy is a ubiquitous phenomenon in phylogenetic investigations, but it is rarely investigated on its own. As a case study in the pattern and basis of homoplasy in primates, the atelid postcranium...

- Homoplasy and homology: dichotomy or continuum?
- Homology is the presence of the same feature in two organisms whose most recent common ancestor also possessed the feature. I discuss the bases on which we can tell that two features being compared sh...

- Molecular phylogeny and morphological homoplasy in fruitbats.
- The present study evaluates the evolutionary framework of the Old World fruitbats based on the cytochrome b and 16S rRNA mitochondrial gene sequences from a wide range of taxa. Phylogenetic analyses i...

- Homology and homoplasy: the retention of genetic programmes.
- Homology describes the inevitable evolutionary phenomenon that the similarity of structures among different organisms is due to the commonality of their descent. This continuity of information is main...

- Excessive homoplasy in an evolutionarily constrained protein.
- The evolution of monomorphic proteins among closely related species has not been examined in detail. To investigate this phenomenon, the glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Gpdh) locus was sequence in...
