An idealized concept of the true cladistic character
(Elsevier, 1975-04)
Estimating evolutionary relationships is basic to the objectives of systematics. Comparative data, structured as taxonomic characters, are usually the essential considerations on which such estimates are founded. Some ...
A mathematical foundation for the analysis of cladistic character compatibility
(Elsevier, 1976)
Using formal algebraic definitions of "cladistic character" and "character compatibility", the concept of "binary factors of a cladistic character" is formalized and used to describe and justify an algorithm for checking ...
How to determine the compatibility of undirected character state trees
(Elsevier, 1979-10)
Methods for cladistic character compatibility analysis have required a priori estimates of the direction of evolutionary trends among the states of a character, in order to ensure consistency. Results are presented here ...
