Evolution of Nematode Systematics: Where We”ve Been and Where We”re Headed
In 1967, at the beginning of my career there was general agreement that it was desirable to develop an evolution-based nematode classification.Although many ”guesses” of nematode evolution were proposed, investigators considered that knowing evolution was not possible and particularly so in the absence of a fossil record.However, during this early period of my career the seeds were planted for new approaches that would address these challenges in nematology.These included Mayr”s emphasis on using characters beyond traditional morphology to interpret relationships, Sneath and Sokal”s emphasis on phenetic/computational classification and Hennig”s objective hypotheses-testing approaches to systematics.
