POINTS OF VIEW

Application of phylogenetic taxonomy to poorly resolved crown clades: a stem-modified node-based definition of Rodentia--- Andre R. Wyss and Jin Meng
Constraints on protein evolution and the age of the eubacteria/eukaryote split--- Michael M. Miyamoto and Walter M. Fitch
The topology-dependent permutation test for monophyly does not test for monophyly--- David L. Swofford, Jeffrey L. Thorne, Joseph Felsenstein, and Brian M. Wiegmann
When the topology-dependent permutation test (T-PTP) for monophyly returns significant support for monophyly, should that be equated with (a) rejecting a null hypothesis of nonmonophyly, (b) rejecting a null hypothesis of "no structure," (c) failing to falsify a hypothesis of monophyly, or (d) none of the above?--- Daniel P. Faith and J. W. H. Trueman
