Excerpt from The Compleat Cladist: A Primer of Phylogenetic ProceduresIn writing this workbook, we have strived to follow in the tradition of Brooks et al. (1984) of providing a guide to basic phylogenetic techniques as we now understand them. The field of phylogenetics has undergone many changes, some philosophical and some empirical, in the last 10 years. We hope to reflect some of these changes in this workbook.The workbook is arranged in a manner roughly functional and pedagogical. The sophisticated reader, for example, might question why we spend so much time with exercises (in Chapter 2) that do not really reflect the way real phylogenetic analysis is performed or why so much space is given to Hennig Argumentation and Wagner algorithms (Chapter 4) when they are either not a part of modem computer algorithms or, at best, are only a starting point for finding the best hypothesis of common ancestry for the particular data analyzed. Our answer, perhaps constrained by our own histories, is that this approach seems to help at least some students learn phylogenetics.Because we can only touch on the most basic topics and provide exercises for only a few of these, we invite the student to explore the original literature; we have cited sources in the body of the text and called attention to some papers in the Chapter Notes and References sections at the end of each chapter. The absence of a paper in the text or in the Notes section is no reflection on the worth of the paper. A compilation of all of the useful papers relating to phylogenetics is quite beyond the scope of this workbook.In addition to the exercises, we have provided immediate feedback sections termed Quick Quizzes. We are interested in reader opinion regarding both the exercises and the quick quizzes. We will incorporate suggestions, wherever possible, in subsequent editions.The major title. The Compleat Cladist. is inspired by the title The Compleat Angler by Izaak Walton, a marvelous book published in many editions since 1653. Of course, this book is not complete or even compleat in the archaic sense of representing a book that teaches complete mastery of a subject. Phylogenetics is much too dynamic for a small workbook to fulfill that criterion. Rather, we take our inspiration from Walton; the compleat cladist is one who approaches the subject with energy, wonder, and joy. Unfortunately, none of us are clever enough to come up with an analogy to the Anglers Song.We thank the following people for their valuable comments on part or all of the earlier drafts of this workbook: the students of Biology 864 and Mike Bamshad (University of Kansas), John Hayden (University of Richmond), Debbie McLennan (University of Toronto), David Swofford (Illinois Natural History Survey), Charlotte Taylor, Richard Thomas, and Rafael Joglar (University of Puerto Rico), Wayne Maddison (Harvard University), and Arnold Kluge (University of Michigan).About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Save some money before the second edition is released! By A Customer This is a great book; it offers an outstanding intro to cladistics, or phylogenetic systematics. I knew this was a great book before I even got it. At the 2003 annual meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, some prominent paleontologists pointed out that this book may be downloaded legally for free (!) at the following address:[...]Why is it free? Because the folks at KU know how intellectually valuable this document is, not to mention how difficult it may be to come by.This isn't a permanent offer; the link will only be valid until the Second Edition is published. So if you'd like to check it out, act now!
