Cladistics

The comparatively new methods of cladistics provide exciting and effective tools for systematists that often challenge existing ideas and theories regarding evolution and taxonomy. The Willi Hennig Society was formed in 1980 to explore and promote this new field and their journal, Cladistics, has done much to bring the subject to a wider audience. Its scope is wide, covering theory, method, the philosophical aspects of systematics, and the role of systematic and evolutionary studies in the investigation of biogeographical and other general biological phenomena.

The journal includes original papers, forum discussions, meeting reports, and book reviews.

Research Areas Include:

• Biogeography
• Botany
• Evolution
• Genetic and molecular evolution
• Ontogeny
• Phylogenetics
• Systematics
• Zoology
