Description
Numerical Taxonomy: 1 is a seminal work in computational biology and evolutionary systematics. Joseph Felsenstein, a pioneer in phylogenetic inference, presents rigorous mathematical and statistical methods for analyzing biological data and constructing evolutionary relationships among organisms.
The book covers fundamental concepts including distance metrics, character state analysis, phylogenetic tree construction algorithms, and statistical validation of evolutionary hypotheses. It serves as both a theoretical foundation and practical guide for researchers working with large biological datasets.
Published as part of the NATO Advanced Study Institute subseries, this volume synthesizes classical taxonomic approaches with modern computational techniques, making it essential for graduate students and professionals in evolutionary biology, systematics, and bioinformatics.
