| Today, cladistics is the method of choice for classifying life because it recognizes and employs evolutionary theory. |
| Of course, it is possible to do cladistics without reference to evolution, but nothing in biology makes much sense-including cladistics-except in the light of evolution. |
| Over the past ten years, cladistics and molecular systematics have begun to be applied to solve problems of bivalve evolutionary biology. |
| Just like phenetic systematics, cladistics takes advantage of the availability of computer software to analyze large data sets. |
| In general, recent cladistic analyses have not yet fully exploited the power of cladistics to test available competing hypotheses. |
| He was an early champion of cladistics in paleontology, which at the time was a new approach to studying questions in that subject. |
