Everyone has the character
It is ‘primitive’ in the phylogeny
Shared-primitive character

Principle of Parsimony
Simpler explanation is more likely
Parsimony -- topology that minimizes total evolutionary change

How to Construct Trees?
Need characters morphologicalmtDNA, cpDNA -- genera, speciesnuclear DNA -- classes, families, orders, generarRNA -- kingdoms, phyla, classes
Need a method for using the characters

How to find the “best” tree?
Sample 1000 trees find the best and search ‘near’ themavoid characteristics of the worst trees
Break it up into smaller groups that can be searched, then combine groups, forcing your search to areas thatmaintain the branching you find in
Add one at a time
Algorithmic--searching for the best method for finding the tree
![Page 19: morphospace](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814f45550346895dbce645/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Maximum liklihood methods
Starts with a model of evolutionary change
e.g. All base pair changes equally likely
Transitions more likely than transversions3rd base pair changes more likely than 1st base pair changesSynonymous changes more likely than non-synonymous changes
Rules that imply probability
Calculate the probability that a particular change occurredThe tree that has the highest probability (i.e liklihood) is favored

Using Molecular Data
Small number of character states (A,T, G, C)
Reversions A G A will be frequent
What do you do with mistakes?

A phylogeny represents the evolutionary history of a lineage in termsin terms of when splits arose and how much descendant taxadiffer from the ancestor
Molecular sequence data have revolutionized the construction of phylogenies because they provide large numbers of simplecharacters
Phylogenies are based on shared derived characters; ancestral vs.derived state is determined by comparison to an outgroup
Parsimony is the most frequently used method for constructing phylogenies, but it may produce multiple equally parsimonioustrees, especially if the number of taxa is large
Robust phylogenies based on molecular data enable evolutionary biologists to address several types of questions
