Typos in "Inferring Phylogenies"


Six printings have now appeared. They are in two groups. Before Sinauer Associates was acquired by Oxford University Press, the name "Oxford University Press" does not appear on the back cover of the book. For those printings, to see which printing you have, look on the copyright page (the page after the title page). At the bottom is a row of digits (5 4 3 2 etc.). The last one is the number of the printing. The third printing also has a light blue background in the cover photo of the Far Flung Fir sculpture (all other editions have an olive-colored background). The first printing can also be distinguished by the absence of quotes from reviewers on the back cover, which is mostly just black. There never was a fifth printing -- it was accidentally skipped, as the printing after the 4th printing was numbered 6.

The printings that say "Oxford University Press" on the back cover are the next ones, and the numbers of the printings will be 2, 3, ... So I'll call the initial Oxford University Press printing the "second Oxford University Press printing".

These typos are corrected in the second printing.

 

I'd appreciate being told of any other typos that are discovered.
There will be a chance to correct them at the next reprinting.

Thanks for pointing out some of these to:

I am particularly grateful to John Trueman, Simon Ho, Peter Morcos, and Nik Schueler, who reported many of these typos.

What got left out?

Of course the book omits all work after early August, 2003. But some earlier works were not discussed that should have been. Particularly egregious omissions include:

What is incorrect?

As for incorrect arguments, there will be those who say most of the book is incorrect. Obviously I don't agree. The arguments I made that may be wrong are:

What about a second edition?

There has been five further printings, and there will be additional reprintings as necessary, with correction of typos. I don't think there is ever likely to be a full second edition. Work on phylogenies is growing rapidly, and the second edition would have to be twice the size. Aside from whether people would buy or read such a massive tome, there is the issue of who has the energy to write it. I don't. Follow-up books probably either will have to be more narrowly focussed on particular subfields, or will skim more lightly through the literature, citing much less of it.
