Increased taxon sampling greatly reduces phylogenetic error.
Several authors have argued recently that extensive taxon sampling has a positive and important effect on the accuracy of phylogenetic estimates. However, other authors have argued that there is little benefit of extensive taxon sampling, and so phylogenetic problems can or should be reduced to a few exemplar taxa as a means of reducing the computational complexity of the phylogenetic analysis....
متن کاملIs sparse taxon sampling a problem for phylogenetic inference?
As expected, with more data (total nucleotides) we were able to reconstruct more accurate phylogenies. When the number of taxa sampled per clade was increased, the interrelationships of those clades could be inferred more accurately. However, sampling in experimental design is only relevant in the context of resource limitation; therefore, to compare apples to apples, we used the number of nucl...
متن کاملIncomplete taxon sampling is not a problem for phylogenetic inference.
A major issue in all data collection for molecular phylogenetics is taxon sampling, which refers to the use of data from only a small representative set of species for inferring higher-level evolutionary history. Insufficient taxon sampling is often cited as a significant source of error in phylogenetic studies, and consequently, acquisition of large data sets is advocated. To test this asserti...
