Zusammenfassung:Brandley et al believe that Bayesian phylogenetics will remain controversial until the systematics community is convinced that so-called uninformative priors do not influence estimated posterior probability values in unexpected ways. They find that phylogeneticists are just now beginning to explore these issues, and that they envision that many studies will be required before the controversy is resolved.
