Abstract
Theodosius Dobznahnsky said nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. Nothing in evolution makes sense except in the light of the historical emergence of species. Species are the biological “children of time.” If we seek to understand them, historical narratives are essential elements of our causal explanations. Phylogenetic systematic analysis provides the Rosetta Stone for uncovering that narrative.

The Annual New Zealand Phylogenetics Meeting

Leigh 2011

The Annual New Zealand Phylogenetics Meeting

Sunday 6th - Friday 11th February, 2011

Overview:

The 15th annual New Zealand meeting on the interface of mathematics and biology in the study of phylogeny, genome analysis and molecular evolution will be held at Leigh. It will be summer in New Zealand, so expect temperatures in the mid-20s to 30s Celsius. There's heaps to do, including diving and fishing. More information on the Leigh By The Sea website.

The meeting will be held at the The Leigh Sawmill Café.
