Abstract
Cladistic analysis of congruence between different area cladograms, and between parasite and host cladograms, is typically limited to comparing branching sequences only. Adding information on timing of the cladogenetic events can increase the power of the analysis. Instances where two cladograms have the same branching pattern but the relevant events occurred at different times can be distinguished from genuine congruence (cladistic and temporal agreement). Temporal information can also help resolve instances of apparent incongruence. As an example, I reanalyze data from Hafner and Nadler's (1988, Nature, 332:258–259; 1990, Syst. Zool., 39:192–204) elegant study of cospeciation between pocket gophers and their chewing lice. By combining both cladistic and temporal information, estimates can be made of relative roles of cospeciation, dispersal, and extinction in structuring the pattern of host-parasite association between the gophers and their lice.
