New phylogenetics slide shows

[Kirk Fitzhugh]

Dear colleagues, 

 I have posted at the URL listed below two more slide shows dealing with the 
philosophical foundations of phylogenetics: "The Inferential Basis of 
Phylogenetic Systematics" and "Testing Phylogenetic Hypotheses." There are now 
five shows available for viewing. I hope to post one more show in the near 
future which provides formal definitions for "semaphorants," "species," and 
"supraspecific taxa" -- all of which are based on the inferential basis for 
each of the concepts associated with these terms.  


Thanks much,

Kirk
