Abstract

Comparative electrophoretic data collected for seven proteins from thirty-four species of marsupial have been examined to define the advantages and shortcomings of electrophoresis as a taxonomic method. The problems of relative rates of change, convergence and parallelism are examined and the range of taxonomic ranks which can usefully be studied with this technique is determined. The relative merits of this type of data, when combined with various methods of taxonomic analysis, are discussed.
