Stratigraphy, Phylogeny, and Species Sampling in Time and Space

  • Chapter
Fossils, Phylogeny, and Form

Part of the book series: Topics in Geobiology ((TGBI,volume 19))

Abstract

The potential role of stratigraphic order in phylogeny reconstruction is among the most contentious issues in contemporary paleontology (e.g., Norell, 1996; Wagner, 1996). Most workers agree that the distribution of taxa in time is essential information which should inform any evolutionary hypothesis. What is not agreed upon is whether that sampled distribution is itself evidence of relationship, and whether time-ordering should constrain a primary phylogenetic hypothesis. The question boils down to whether relationship should be determined using intrinsic biological information alone, or by using a certain amount of biological information, countermanded to some or other extent by extrinsic temporal information.
