Abstract

Cladistic analyses will be inaccurate if based on inaccurate data. Most blastozoan taxa were defined before cladistics was proposed. Redescription of precladistic taxa should be a priority. Cladistics recognizes similarities between taxa, not differences. Differences always exist, so the two approaches are asymmetrical. Any suggested similarity or homology needs testing, including output of computer-based analyses. New interpretations of plate homology between glyptocystitoid and hemicosmitoid rhombiferans had already rendered input data obsolete before the pan-dichoporite paper was published. Universal Elemental Homology (UEH) is not a scientific hypothesis. It makes no testable predictions; no system of naming plates can.

如果基于不准确的数据，分类分析将是不准确的。大多数囊胚动物分类在分类学提出之前就已被定义。对前灭绝分类群的重新描述应该是一个优先事项。分类学识别的是分类群之间的相似性，而不是差异性。差异总是存在的，所以这两种方法是不对称的。任何建议的相似性或同源性需要测试，包括基于计算机的分析输出。在这篇泛双孢石论文发表之前，关于形囊体类和半锥体类菱形虫板块同源性的新解释已经使输入数据过时。普遍元素同源(UEH)不是一个科学假设。它没有可检验的预测;任何命名系统都无法做到这一点。

期刊介绍： Acta Palaeontologica Polonica is an international quarterly journal publishing papers of general interest from all areas of paleontology. Since its founding by Roman Kozłowski in 1956, various currents of modern paleontology have been represented in the contents of the journal, especially those rooted in biologically oriented paleontology, an area he helped establish. In-depth studies of all kinds of fossils, of the mode of life of ancient organisms and structure of their skeletons are welcome, as those offering stratigraphically ordered evidence of evolution. Work on vertebrates and applications of fossil evidence to developmental studies, both ontogeny and astogeny of clonal organisms, have a long tradition in our journal. Evolution of the biosphere and its ecosystems, as inferred from geochemical evidence, has also been the focus of studies published in the journal.
