Thus, butterfly evolution must be studied throughout the elaboration and testing of phylogenetic hypotheses and through historical zoogeography.
According to these phylogenetic hypotheses, the long-skulled Secodontosaurus represents a separate branch at the base of the Sphenacodontidae.
Essentially, most traditional and mtDNA-based phylogenetic hypothesis for tilapiines must be considered with a high degree of caution.
"The philosophical basis of character coding for the inference of phylogenetic hypotheses."
A revised generic classification has been suggested that is consistent with a molecular phylogenetic hypothesis.
Thus, the content of a phylogenetically defined taxon relies on a phylogenetic hypothesis.
Dismorphiinae at Tree of Life (with phylogenetic hypothesis)
Using specialized computer software, they test various phylogenetic hypotheses for their ability to account for the characters by genetic descent.
While there is no good phylogenetic hypothesis yet for the subfamily, groups of at least apparently related genera have been delimited.
The phylogenetic hypothesis suggests an alternative evolutionary process based on a functional analysis of increasing numbers of teeth.
