Galaxies and Cladistics
The Hubble tuning fork diagram, based on morphology and established in the 1930s, has always been the preferred scheme for classification of galaxies. However, the current large amount of multiwavelength data, most often spectra, for objects up to very high distances, asks for more sophisticated statistical approaches. Interpreting formation and evolution of galaxies as a 'transmission with mod...
متن کاملCharacter-Based Cladistics and Answer Set Programming
We describe the reconstruction of a phylogeny for a set of taxa, with a character-based cladistics approach, in a declarative knowledge representation formalism, and show how to use computational methods of answer set programming to generate conjectures about the evolution of the given taxa. We have applied this computational method in two domains: to historical analysis of languages, and to hi...
متن کاملCladistics and Generic Concepts in the Compositae
Introduction Taxonomy classes are often taught that we as systematists are concerned with grouping and ranking. We are actually concerned with two levels of grouping: the grouping of individuals (into species), and the grouping of these "groups of individuals." There are, therefore, only two categories, species and groups of species (Nelson and Platnick, 1981). If we strive to make our species ...
متن کاملGaphyl: A Genetic Algorithms Approach to Cladistics
This research investigates the use of genetic algorithms (GA's) to solve problems from cladistics | a technique used by biologists to hypothesize the evolutionary relationships between organisms. Since exhaustive search is not practical in this domain, typical cladis-tics software packages use heuristic search methods to navigate through the space of possible trees in an attempt to nd one or mo...
متن کاملCognitive cladistics and cultural override in Hominid spatial cognition.
Current approaches to human cognition often take a strong nativist stance based on Western adult performance, backed up where possible by neonate and infant research and almost never by comparative research across the Hominidae. Recent research suggests considerable cross-cultural differences in cognitive strategies, including relational thinking, a domain where infant research is impossible be...
