In the more advances courses, I think it is also important to emphasize molecular phylogenetics and developmental genetics as well.

Martin Brazeau has an excellent post on taphonomy at The Lancelet reporting a paper in which folks let poor innocent critters rot in order to ascertain which anatomical features are likely to be preserved and which are likely to be lost before fossilization, and the implications for interpreting fossils of ‘soft’ tissues for phylogenetics.

Hunter apparently has no idea that, in phylogenetics, it is trivial to test hypotheses like “there is no tree structure in the sequence data” or “these two phylogenies from two different genes agree/disagree with each other”, to quantify the amount of agreement/disagreement, etc.

Ecophylogenetics is a field of study that uses information about the evolutionary relationships among species (phylogenetics) to test hypotheses about how ecological communities are assembled and about the potential outcomes of species interactions.
