Phylogenetic sampling affects evolutionary patterns of morphological disparity

Cladistic character matrices are routinely repurposed in analyses of morphological disparity. Unfortunately, the sampling of taxa and characters within such datasets reflects their intended application (to resolve phylogeny, rather than distinguish between phenotypes) resulting in tree shapes that o...
