| It is through cladistic analysis that we are able to tell homoplasy from synapomorphy. |
| However, a cladistic approach to phenotype association studies does not require a complete absence of recombination. |
| Ghost lineages are frankly a contrived solution, a deus ex machina required by the cladistic method. |
| He has the distinction of being one of the very early converts to cladistic methods in vertebrate paleontology. |
| We are not aware, however, of any previous studies that have used cladistic methods to define paleontological species. |
| This would effectively divorce cladistic biogeography from the inference of causal processes. |
