Phylogenetic inference, DNA sequence analysis, and the future of molecular systematics / Michael M. Miyamota, Joel Cracraft -- DNA sequencing : stratregy and methods to directly sequence large DNA molecules / Jerry L. Slightom, David R. Siemieniak, Leang C. Sieu -- The application of automated DNA sequence analysis to phylogenetic studies / Robert J. Ferl, et al. -- Computer alignment of sequences / Michael S. Waterman, Jana Joyce, Mark Eggert -- Aligning DNA sequences : homology and phylogenetic weighting / David P. Mindell -- Relative efficiencies of different tree-making methods for molecular data / Masatoshi Nei -- Compositional statistics evaluated by computer simulations / Arend Sidow, Allan C. Wilson. Weighted parsimony : does it work? / Walter M. Fitch, Jia Ye -- Testing the theory of descent / David Penny, Michael D. Hendy, Michael A. Steel -- Parsimony and phylogenetic inference uing DNA sequences : some methodological strategies / Joel Cracraft, Kathleen Helm-Bychowski -- Evolutionary analysis of length-variable sequences : divergent domains of ribosomal RNA / Allan Larson -- Statistical methods for testing molecular phylogenies / Wen-Hsing Li, Manolo Gouy -- Discriminating between phylogenetic signal and random noise in DNA sequences / David M. Hillis -- When are phylogeny estimates from moloecular and morphological data incongruent? / David L. Swofford -- Congruence among data sets : a bayesian approach / Ward C. Wheeler.
With increasing frequency, systematic and evolutionary biologists have turned to the techniques of molecular biology to complement their traditional morphological and anatomical approaches to questions of historical relationship and descent among groups of animals and plants. In particular, the comparative analysis of DNA sequences is becoming a common and important focus of research attention today. This volume surveys the emerging field of molecular systematics of DNA sequences by focusing on the following topics: DNA sequence data acquisition; phylogenetic inference; congruence and consensus problems; limitations of molecular data; and integration of molecular and morphological data sets. The volume takes its inspiration from a major symposium sponsored by the American Society of Zoologists and the Society of Systematic Zoology in December, 1989.
