Cladistics, or phylogenetic systematicsan approach to discovering, unraveling, and testing hypotheses of evolutionary historytook hold during a turbulent and acrimonious time in the history of systematics. During this periodthe 1960s and 1970smuch of the foundation of modern systematic methodology was established as cladistic approaches became widely accepted. Virtually complete by the end of the 1980s, the wide perception has been that little has changed. This volume vividly illustrates that cladistic methodologies have continued to be developed, improved upon, and effectively used in ever widening analytically imaginative ways.

SPECIES AND SYSTEMATICS

www.ucpress.edu/go/spsy

The Species and Systematics series will investigate fundamental and practical aspects of systematics and taxonomy in a series of comprehensive volumes aimed at students and researchers in systematic biology and in the history and philosophy of biology. The book series will examine the role of descriptive taxonomy, its fusion with cyber-infrastructure, its future within biodiversity studies, and its importance as an empirical science. The philosophical consequences of classification, as well as its history, will be among the themes explored by this series, including systematic methods, empirical studies of taxonomic groups, the history of homology, and its significance in molecular systematics.

Preface

This book represents an attempt to document the nature and anticipate the future of cladistics. Inspired by the career and contributions of Chris Humphries, recently retired and now deceased botanist of the Natural History Museum (London), the breadth and depth of this one transformative career reflects decades of scientific advancement as well as the origination and wide acceptance of cladistics and its multifarious applications to botany, conservation, and biogeography.

Why Beyond Cladistics? The initial idea came from Gary Nelson (Patterson 1997; Nelson 2000) reporting a statement made by Colin Patterson: The cladistic revolution began in the late 1960s, accelerated in the 1970s, and was virtually complete by the eighties. The word
