Stochastic mapping of morphological characters.
Many questions in evolutionary biology are best addressed by comparing traits in different species. Often such studies involve mapping characters on phylogenetic trees. Mapping characters on trees allows the nature, number, and timing of the transformations to be identified. The parsimony method is the only method available for mapping morphological characters on phylogenies. Although the parsi...

متن کاملNUMERICAL TAXONOMIC STUDY OF THE IRANIAN SPECIES OF ALYSSUM L. BASED ON MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS
The genus Alyssum L. belongs to the subtribe Alyssinae, tribe Alysseae and family Cruciferae (Brassicaceae). This genus is one of the largest genera of the family of Cruciferae in Iran, and seems to be the most problematic genus in which the boundary of certain species is not completely clear due to the polymorphism of morphological characters. The main objective of this research is to stud...
متن کاملQuantitative characterization of morphological polymorphism of handwritten characters loops.
A methodology based on Fourier descriptors that was previously validated has been applied to 13 writers in order to quantify the polymorphism degree of the shape of the loops of the handwritten characters a, d, o and q. In a first step, the discriminating power of the parameters extracted from these letters was investigated. The loop of the letter d appeared to be the most discriminant with a c...
متن کاملInsights into the Influence of Priors in Posterior Mapping of Discrete Morphological Characters: A Case Study in Annonaceae
BACKGROUND Posterior mapping is an increasingly popular hierarchical Bayesian based method used to infer character histories and reconstruct ancestral states at nodes of molecular phylogenies, notably of morphological characters. As for all Bayesian analyses specification of prior values is an integrative and important part of the analysis. He we provide an example of how alternative prior choi...
