1
Classification, Evolution, and the Nature of Biology
We have seen in Chapter 6 and the previous chapters that dissatisfaction with
traditional taxonomy gave rise, after the Second World War, to two distinct
attempts at a remedy - phenetics and cladistics. In this chapter, I review the
methodology ...

Evolution of the Insects
One response was the development of numerical taxonomy, or phenetics.
Developed principally at the University of Kansas by the entomologists Robert
Sokal (Figure 1 .23) and Charles D. Michener and by the microbiologist Peter
Sneath ...

Organizational Systematics--taxonomy, Evolution, Classification
7.4. ORGANIZATIONAL. PROPINQUITY. AND. NUMERICAL. PHENETICS. I have
suggested the dominant competence species concept as the basis of
organizational propinquity and diversity. Since a phyletic classification is largely
based on ...
Many people contributed to the development of phenetics, but the most influential were Peter Sneath and Robert R. Sokal. Their books are still primary references for this sub-discipline, although now somewhat dated and out of print

Molecules and Morphology in Evolution: Conflict Or Compromise?
Phenetics and cladistics Whatever the case, progress with phylogeny was slow to
come, and dissatisfaction was general. No doubt stemming partly from that
dissatisfaction, there appeared in the 1960s two new and very different

Biological Systematics: Principles and Applications
Those who practiced phenetics were soon called pheneticists. The additional
terms syncretist and gradist are also found in the literature. They usually refer to
individuals whose approach to taxonomy reflects a combining of methodologies
into ...

Missing Links: Evolutionary Concepts & Transitions Through Time
The primary point made by cladists is that there is no biological foundation to the
phenetic approach, no way to assess which classification derived by phenetics is
"real." On the other hand, there has been only one tree of life, and this gives the ...
