However, I would like to specifically target it for two disparate groups of biologists seldom men tioned in the same sentence, classical ichthyologists and molecular biologists. Since classical times, and perhaps even before, ichthyologists have stood in awe at the tremendous diversity of fishes. The bulk of effort in the field has always been directed toward understanding this diversity, i. e. , extracting from it a coherent picture of evolutionary processes and lineages. This effort has, in turn, always been overwhelmingly based upon morphological comparisons. The practical advantages of such compari sons, especially the ease with which morphological data can be had from preserved museum specimens, are manifold. But considered objectively (outside its context of "tradition"), morphological analysis alone is a poor tool for probing evolutionary processes or elucidating relationships. The concepts of "relationship" and of "evolution" are inherently genetic ones, and the genetic bases of morphological traits are seldom known in detail and frequently unknown entir | | 出版日期 | Book 1984 | | 关键词 | biology; evolution; evolutionary biology | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4684-4652-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4684-4654-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4684-4652-4 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1984 |
