His hypothesis was that the running jump behavior is the result of a shared history of the two groups. The Adams tree (Figure 9) is better resolved than either of the cladograms, because neither 7 nor 8 contradict each other. If associations play a role in the evolution of any of these diagnostic species, the phylogenies of different groups will differ with respect to associations.
However, it differs in that only one of the terminal taxa goes to the base of the tree. This is referred to as the major axis and it can involve any one of the terminal taxa. To summarize this discussion of consensus and the mapping method: (1) strict consensus illustrates which portions of the different cladograms are identical;.
A recurring theme in comparative biology is the question of the relationship between genotype and phenotype. None of the four data sets is in conflict with any other (except for a minor ambiguity in the immunological distance data), but none of them alone produces a summary tree (Figure 32). Almost all of the different branching patterns found in these cladograms can be represented in two cladograms (Figures 33 and 34).
That is, find the center of origin and connect the distributions of the members of a given group - this is the distribution route. Areas that are not found on all area cladograms or that are in conflict are removed to produce a reduced area cladogram (for a justification of this procedure see Nelson and Plamick, 1981). Each tree can be encoded as a multistate character (see "Character Encoding," above) and the resulting diagram is a summary of all the data.
From the data distribution it appears that areas 6 and 3a are grouped together because they lack 17(1) and 17(2) and that there is a relationship between area 3 and the clade of areas 1 and 2 due to the parallel occurrence of 17 ( 3). Finally, mapping methods provide a summary of all data with possible placements for taxa that do not conform to a general pattern. Even multispecies associations are considered to be the result of independent movements of constituent species (MacArthur and Wilson, 1967).
And second, the phylogenies of clades correspond to the geological history of the areas in which endemic species occur. The tepuis are mountains that are part of the Guayana Shield, overlain by the Roraima Formation. The cladogram for the genus Stempadus, which has species on eleven of the tepuis, is compared with the tepui cladogram in Figure 76.
Optimization of the taxon cladogram shows that the ancestral species were distributed at high altitudes.

Two of the species are more closely related to each other than they are to any of the other species. Other studies illustrating peripheral isolation are Lynch (1982), who provides supplementary data on frogs (genus Cerutophrys) in eastern South America and Wiley (1981), who suggests that a number of the uniquely distributed species of Heterandria and Xiphophorus ( discussed in "Biogeography," above) represent the products of speciation by peripheral isolation. This mode of speciation ("alloparapatric speciation") shares the biogeographic statements of Models I and I1 depending on the size of the isolated populations.
When using phylogenetic systematics to study speciation, repeating patterns are found in allopatric models I and 11, vicariance, and the progression rule, while in all other forms of speciation the phylogenetic pattern must be individualized for each clade. Historical ecology is the name of a research program in evolutionary ecology that uses phylogenetic trees to provide direct estimates of the origins and persistence of various aspects of ecological associations and diversity. He expressed the hope that the integration of historical (systematic and biogeographical) information, together with new methods for documenting statistical patterns, “could bring to ecology some of the revival that has recently occurred in the fields of systematics and biogeography” (Ricklefs, 1987: 171).
COEVOLUTION.—The critical question asked in macroevolutionary studies of biogeographic patterns is "Why do these species share the same real estate?" This does not presuppose that those species actually have any ecological relationship with each other. Like other areas of biology, coevolution has been interpreted in two different ways: one a within-species view and the other a between-species view. The host cladogram is then used as a base and the parasite found in each species is written above the host species (Figure 81).
It is assumed that the ancestor of the host species D and E was populated by the ancestor of the parasitic species d;. According to the parasitic cladogram, c and d shared a common ancestor apart from other parasitic taxa;. The transformation sets constructed from the host cladogram and those constructed from the parasite cladogram are concordant and this fully supports the hypothesis of mutual origin.
The historical interaction of ecological associates is compared to that of species and the areas they inhabit, i.e., historical biogeography. In the case of parasites and their hosts, the host can be seen as a geographical area and the parasites as the biota in that area. Because of this similarity, we can use all the methods applied in "Biogeography", above, to handle problems such as missing data, m a e spread and determination of congruence for C o e V O h t i O n Studies.
4 d o g n u n s for figs (dashed lines) and fig wasps (solid lines) superimposed. h t e r A marks the occurrence of the same wasp species in two figs that are not sister ma. Figures 90 and 91 depict parts of the phylogenetic trees for Enterobius (needleworms) and Oesophagostomum (Conobeberia) (hookworms) species living in hominoid primates. Sesquiterpene lactone data are available for 20 of the 30 taxa of the genus Montanoa (Seaman et al., in prep.; Table 12).
First, the UMB is a synapomorphy of the entire genus, followed by five random losses. From the perspective of the ecological hierarchy, the specific identity of the species involved does not matter. If there are phylogenetic constraints on ecological and behavioral diversification, closely related species may have the same ecological or behavioral traits regardless of the environment in which they are found.
In these cases, we recognize that there may be some degree of independence between the products of the genealogical hierarchy and environmental constraints. How often do adaptive changes in structure and function actually occur on the same branch of the phylogenetic tree. Enduring ancestral ecological and behavioral traits represent instances in which genealogical hierarchy constrained ecological hierarchy, and adaptive changes represent instances of genealogical hierarchy responding to the effects of ecological hierarchy.
Parviforue and Cox (in press) also found a high degree of phylogenetic concordance and conservatism in the evolution of plant reproductive systems in a study of Pandanaceae. Taxa to the right of the dotted lines show full-body coloration of males during the mating cycle. Both sides of the argument agreed that each set of data would support different phylogenetic relationships.
