Phylogeny and classification of tribe Aedini (Diptera: Culicidae) (2009, background): “More recently, in a justification of differential weighting in analyses of morphological characters, Goloboff et al. (2008) noted that for large data sets, in which many, if not most, characters have large numbers of extra steps when fitted onto the optimal cladogram, the weighting strength of low…”
The Morphology And Phylogeny Of Dionychan Spiders (Araneae: Araneomorphae) (2014, methodology): “Because synapomorphy lists for polytomies in consensus trees are dependent on all the optimal resolutions, all optimal dichotomous trees were first calculated, producing lists of synapomorphies that are common to all of them (Common Synapomorphies command in TNT, ‘‘apo[- ;’’).”
The phylogeny and classification of post-Palaeozoic echinoids (2010, background): “Work by Goloboff et al. (2008) has demonstrated that there are distinct advantages to weighting against homoplasy in cladistic analysis.”
