Summary
The theory and principle of cladistic methodology are summarized, and exemplified by applied cladistics in ascomycete systematics and classifications. General topics touched upon are: competing systematic methods, monophyly, paraphyly, terminal taxa, character coding, ingroup, outgroup, character polarization, parsimony, character weighting, equally parsimonious trees, problems with tree instability, consensus trees, and classification.
