Analyse de données en écologie benthique : utilisation de la méthode de l'analyse de parcimonie

Parsimonious analysis, a method used in cladistics, which considers the coherence of characters, is used to establish the phylogeny of different taxa. Its use in the analysis of ecological and biogeographical data in marine benthic studies remains rare. Application to data collected from ecological or biogeographical works and previously studied by classical analysis demonstrates the potential and the advantages of this method in the study of spatio-temporal marine benthic series.
