Cladistic systematics and phylogenetic species

ZHAO Tie-Qiao

Abstract:

A brief review is given on problems of species conceps in cladistics and evolutionary sys-

tematics, and some advances in the study on species problem are introduced. Particularly Nixon and

Wheeler's phylogenetic species concept and two procedures of delimitating phylogenetic species—

Davis and Nixon's population aggregation analysis and Brower's cladistic haplotype aggregation are

reviewed in detail.

Key words: Cladistics, Species problem, Phylogenetic species, Population aggregation analysis, Cladistic haplotype aggregation
