groundplans

[Vince Smith]

Dear Kip,

If you have not already seen them you might want to take a look at  
the following:

Yeates, D. K. 1995. Groundplans and exemplars: paths to the tree of  
life. Cladistics 11:343-357.

Bininda-Emonds, O. R. P., H. N. Bryant, and A. P. Russell. 1998.  
Supraspecific taxa as terminals in cladistic analysis: implicit  
assumptions of monophyly and a comparison of methods. Biol. J.  
Linnean Soc. 64:101-133.

Regards,

Vince
