Re: Phylocode (was Pterosaur relationships)

    I've forgotten in which journal Michael Benton's paper will appear, but 
since it is now in press, he has already posted the article on the Internet 
(on his homepage at the University of Bristol).
    Semi-paraphyletic is the term I coined in 1994 for a paraphyletic group 
which is made holophyletic (in an informational sense) by the addition of 
markers.  The traditional Reptilia is paraphyletic, but is rendered 
semi-paraphyletic by the addition of markers for the birds and mammals.
