Thereupon he went to Leipzig, and during the winter of 1880–81 and the following summer semester studied comparative anatomy with Leuckart, geology with Credner, and phylogenetics with Carus.
c. 1899, William Morton Wheeler, “George Baur’s Life and Writings”, in The American Naturalist, volume 33, page 16:A difficult task was to review the development of the many new packages contributing to phylogenetics and evolutionary biology.
2011, Emmanuel Paradis, Analysis of Phylogenetics and Evolution with R, Springer, page vii:An especially concise introduction to molecular phylogenetics is provided by Hillis et al. (1993). The danger of generating incorrect results is inherently greater in computational phylogenetics than in many other fields of science.
