Abstract
The last chapter is a guide to further reading on molecular phylogenetics, uncertainty quantification, and other topics encountered in the book.
…a lot of people prefer Bayesian support values to other measures of support, such as the bootstrap …because they have a likeable tendency to give you higher numbers, making you feel happier about your tree.
