Homoplasy. The Recurrence of Similarity in Evolution

Abstract

Brooks, homoplasy connections and disconnections - genes and species, molecules and morphology, J.J. Doyle, the relationship be-tween homoplasy and confidence in a phylogenetic tree, M.J. Sanderson and M.J. Donoghue, nonfloral homoplasy and evolutionary scenarios in living and fossil land plants, R.M. Bateman, behavioural characters and homoplasy - perception versus practice, H.C.Proctor measures of homoplasy: measures of homoplasy, J.W. Archie, the measurement of homoplasy - a stochastic view, J.T. Chang and J. Kim gen-eration of homoplasy: complexity and homoplasy, D.W.

Endress Appendices: families and genera with completely trimerous flowers families and genera with flowers that are trimerous except for the gynoecium families and genera with flowers that are trimerous except for the adnorecium, which is polymerous families and genera with flowers that are trimerous except for the calyx, which is pentamerous homoplasy and the evolutionary process - an afterword, M.J. Sanderson and L. Hufford.
