Curious, could (and where could) I get papers on these two (Caud. and
Micro.)?
Furthermore, is there some sort of "Idiot's Guide to Cladistics" out there
that would serve as a good intro to the whole Cladistics game? Because all
it
does right now (for the most part) is rattle my brains... Thanks.
Thanks all
Caleb Lewis
