Re: Taxon sampling

[dinoboygraphics@aol.com]

It's been mentioned on the DML before, but let me also recommend:

Lee, M. S. Y. 2005. Squamate phylogeny, taxon sampling, and data 
congruence.
Organisms Diversity and Evolution 5 (1): 25-45.

It's a fantastic practical example of how increased taxon sampling (and 
in particular fossil taxa) can lead to improved congruence between 
phylogenetic datasets.

Though I haven't read it, I can probably recommend this paper:Â

phylogenetic problem?, Systematic Biology 47, 9 -- 17 (1998) Â
