Highly incomplete taxa can rescue phylogenetic analyses from the negative impacts of limited taxon sampling.
<h4>Background</h4>Phylogenies are essential to many areas of biology, but phylogenetic methods may give incorrect estimates under some conditions. A potentially common scenario of this type is when few taxa are sampled and terminal branches for the sampled taxa are relatively long. Howe...
