Since " Archaeopteryx " had three functional claws on each wing, some earlier systematists speculated that the hoatzin was descended from it, because nestling hoatzins have two functional claws on each wing.

However, interpretation of decay values is not straightforward, and they seem to be preferred by authors with philosophical objections to the bootstrap ( although many morphological systematists, especially paleontologists, report both ).

Apart from his many papers on biological control and related topics, Myers produced a large number of works on insects of the order Hemiptera which showed him to be a morphologist and systematist of note.

By 1996, " few if any systematists would . . . doubt the eutherian affinities of xenarthrans " and molecular data have also supported the placement of Xenarthra within placentals as one of four major clades.

According to genetic studies, the two genera, " Phoeniculus " and " Rhinopomastus ", appear to have diverged about 10 million years ago, so some systematists treat them as separate families.

The "'systematist "', a scientist who specializes in systematics, must, therefore, be able to use existing classification systems, or at least know them well enough to skilfully justify not using them.

Whether the bigeye and smalltooth sand tigers belong in the same family as the superficially similar sand tiger shark ( " C . taurus " ) has been debated among systematists, with morphological and dentitional studies giving inconsistent results.
38.
The family has recently been resurrected as molecular systematic studies have shown that " Acorus " is not closely related to Araceae or any other monocot family, leading plant systematists to place the genus and family in its own order.

I would like to emphasize that I am a professional scientist ( paleontologist and systematist ), and that I thought that I was doing Wikipedia a favor by contributing discussions of recent developments in the fields in which I have an expertise.

Carl J . Wiggers visited Frank s laboratory in 1912 and found Frank a brilliant analyst, a skillful systematist, a talented mathematician, and a creative thinker . . . , but secretive and difficult to work with.
