Morphological and molecular convergences in mammalian phylogenetics

Morphological characters are generally thought to have higher rates of convergence than molecular characters. Here, Zou and Zhang provide empirical evidence for this assumption and devise a method to improve the accuracy of phylogenetic reconstruction through identifying and removing convergence-pro...

Sumario:Morphological characters are generally thought to have higher rates of convergence than molecular characters. Here, Zou and Zhang provide empirical evidence for this assumption and devise a method to improve the accuracy of phylogenetic reconstruction through identifying and removing convergence-prone characters.
