The Topology-Dependent Permutation Test for Monophyly Does Not Test for Monophyly

A Likelihood-Ratio Test of Monophyly

?Many phylogenetic analyses are inspired by or depend upon the monophyly of a group specified a priori. Also, many evolutionary problems for which phylogenies are useful do not require every detail of the phylogeny to be estimated correctly but depend upon the monophyly (or lack thereof) of a particular group. We propose a likelihood-ratio test that compares whether the best trees estimated wit...

Angiosperm monophyly.

Morphogenera, monophyly, and macroevolution.

Jablonski and Finarelli (1) suggest that morphogenera, even when they are nonmonophyletic, serve as good representatives for large-scale evolutionary studies. We feel there are two issues that warrant further discussion. First, the test used to evaluate the effect of using nonmonophyletic groups for macroevolutionary studies was not conservative and thus does not provide strong evidence about t...
