How do we infer phylogeny?
3 “schools” of phylogenetic thought:
1. Evolutionary systematics
1. Phenetics
1. Cladistics/phylogenetics

1. Evolutionary systematics
-Arose during the Modern Synthesis of Evolution (Ernst Mayr, Theodosius Dobzhansky, G.G. Simpson)
![Page 10: Terminal node](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5681487e550346895db58752/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. Evolutionary systematics
-Arose during the Modern Synthesis of Evolution (Ernst Mayr, Theodosius Dobzhansky, G.G. Simpson)
-Tried to be synonymous with evolutionary biology & “Neo-Darwinism”

Terms & concepts used in phylogenetics/cladistics
CHARACTER: Heritable trait possessed by an organism; characters are usually described in terms of their states, for example: "hair present" vs. "hair absent," where "hair" is the character, and "present" and "absent" are its states.
![Page 29: Terminal node](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5681487e550346895db58752/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
HOMOLOGY: Characters are considered homologous when they are inherited from a common ancestor which possessed that feature.
HOMOPLASY: A similar feature shared by two or more taxa that does not meet the criterion (or criteria) of homology. Homoplasiesgenerally arise via convergence.
CONVERGENCE: the independent (convergent) evolution of anatomical or functional similarity between unrelated or distantly related lineages or forms. The resulting similarities are only superficial, generally resulting from similar adaptation to similar environments and are NOT a result of common ancestry (and are therefore NOT homologies).

Terms & concepts used in phylogenetics/cladistics
APOMORPHY: a derived feature or character; derived from and differing from an ancestral (plesiomorphic) condition.
SYNAPOMORPHY: A shared, derived character (apomorphy) reflecting common ancestry used to group taxa. Hair is a synapomorphy of mammals.
![Page 33: Terminal node](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5681487e550346895db58752/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Terms & concepts used in phylogenetics/cladistics
PLESIOMORPHY: An ancestral or primitive character, often incorrectly used to group taxa.
SYMPLESIOMORPHY: A plesiomorphy shared by two or more taxa.

CHARACTER STATES are primitive or derived.
ORGANISMS are not!

Parsimony Criterion
![Page 40: Terminal node](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5681487e550346895db58752/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Parsimony Criterion
Parsimony: The “rule of simplicity.” Simply stated, according to the principle of Maximum Parsimony, accept the explanation requiring the fewest assumptions.
Parsimony is the fundamental assumption of traditional cladistics/phylogenetics.
![Page 41: Terminal node](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5681487e550346895db58752/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Parsimony Criterion
Parsimony: The “rule of simplicity.” Simply stated, according to the principle of Maximum Parsimony, accept the explanation requiring the fewest assumptions.
Parsimony is the fundamental assumption of traditional cladistics/phylogenetics.
Other criteria: Maximum likelihood; probabilisticcriteria (e.g., Bayesian posterior probabilities).

Parsimony Criterion
In phylogenetics, we use the parsimony criterion to “optimize” (=minimize) the number of transitions (=steps) from one character state to another, for all characters, on every possible tree, and select the treeor trees that require the fewest number of steps (ad hoc hypotheses).
We also use parsimony to infer character state transformations and biogeographic history.
