The Molecular Clock Hypothesis: Biochemical Evolution, Genetic Differentiation and Systematics

Thorpe, J P·1982·Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics

Abstract

should not be any clearcut borderline between them. The major distinction, if any, probably lies in the aims of various workers; the evolutionary geneticist studies organisms with a view to understanding the role and mechanisms of evolution, while the systematist is concerned with the evolution and interrelationships of particular animals or plants insofar as this information will enable him to place populations, species, or other taxa more accurately within an overall taxonomic scheme.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
