We liked to believe in the bright future, in a magician who will appear like a Jack-in-the-box and reveal the truth to us. However, excessive hopes related to the chromosomal study came true only in part. In the meantime, new candidates claimed the place of the magician, i. e. phenetics succeeded by cladistics and now by molecular methods in systematics and phylogeny. Nevertheless, it becomes progressively more ob- ous nowadays that cladistics is just a bright envelope for the fairly primitive and theoretically vulnerable approach that deprives living organisms and their groups of the traces of integrity and reduces them to the plain sum of characters. Modern molecular techniques look more perceptive and may yield more reliable results, although the details are sometimes embarrassing, and comparison with the fossil record does not necessarily reveal their superiority over cladistics. These methods are accessible by research teams with massive funding and good equipment and this strongly decreases the range and diversity of the material | 出版日期 | Book 2009 | 关键词 | Chromosomes; Hymenoptera; Karyotypes; Parasitic wasps; chromosome; evolution; insect; Entomology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-9807-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-024-0490-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-9807-9 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009 |
