Davis, (1996) BioScience 46:502 - a good outline of Hennigs
cladistical concepts within an essay on the species concept
Doolittle ed (1990) Molecular Evolution: Computer Analysis of Protein
and Nucleic Acid Sequences; Methods in Enzymol. v 183, Academic Press (NY) - a compendium,
nicely methods oriented in most cases
Dutta & Winter eds, (1986a&b & 1989) DNA Systematics v I, II, III, CRC
Press (Boca Raton) - a rather erratic group of reviews
Eck & Dayhoff (1966) Atlas of Protein Sequence and
Structure, Natl. Biomed. Res Found., Silver Spring, MD - the chapters before the actual
atlas are an interesting early introduction (there are several editions)
Felsenstein (1988) Ann. Rev. Genet. 22:151 - a good review of what's being inferred
based on which assumptions with how much reliability
Gillespie (1991) Oxford Press (Oxford) - an attempt to provide a sytematic summary of
the selectionist viewpoint as a rebuttal to Kimura; as in so many either-or debates both
he and Kimura are right and Gillespie appears to appreciate this point even while trying
to minimize it
Hennig (1966) Phylogenetic Systematics, translated by D.D. Davis amd R. Zangerl,
University of Illinois Press (Urbana, IL) - the origin of cladistics
Hillis & Moritz eds, (1990) Molecular Sytematics, Sinauer Assoc (Suderland, MA) -
appears to be the product of a meeting with emphasis on methods (I've seen only a flyer)
Li (1997) Molecular Evolution, Sinauer Assoc (Sunderland, MA) - appears to be aimed as
a more complete text than Li & Graur (I've seen only a review)
Li & Graur (1990) Fundamentals of Molecular Evolution, Sinauer Assoc (Sunderland,
MA) - appears to be aimed as a text which will review the background in molecular biology,
evolution and math as needed (I've seen only a flyer)
Miyamoto & Cracraft eds, (1991) Phylogenetic Analysis of DNA Sequences, Oxford
Univ. Press (Oxford) - a collection of reviews; as of early 1992, the latest
Nei (1975) Molecular Population Genetics and Evolution (1975), North Holland
(Amsterdam) - a very mathematically oriented text; getting out of date
Sankoff & Kruskal eds (1983) Time Warps, String Edits, and Macromolecules: the
Theory and Practice of Sequence Comparison, Addison Wesley (Reading) - reviews and
analyses; some very theoretical; as the title emphasizes, some of the mathematical
parallels are striking
Sneath (1973) Numerical Taxonomy, Freeman (San Francisco)
- A text much of it relevant only to systematics but part of the popularization of
cladistics and the UPGMA method.
von Heijne (1987) Sequence Analysis in Molecular Biology: Treasure Trove or Trivial
Pursuit, Academic Press (NY) - a thoughtful discussion of computerized analysis of
sequence data at the front end (i.e., not that evolutionary)
Waterman ed (1989) Mathematical Methods for DNA Sequences, CRC Press (Boca Raton) -
another collection; somewhat more theoretical in stretches than many
Weir (1990) Genetic Data Analysis, Sinauer Assoc (Suderland, MA) - a population
genetics text that spends much of its effort on molecular evolution
