According to Brower and de Pinna (2012), homology is equal to synapomorphy. According to Hennig (1966), phylogenetic relationships (monophyly) and tokogenetic relationships (reproductive community) relate to supraspecific and species taxa, respectively.11 Mishler and Theriot (2000), however, have treated species as monophyletic groups, thus using synapomorphies for species delimitation. Also according to Hennig (1966), synapomorphies delimit supraspecific taxa (monophyletic groups), whereas cohesion and isolation delimit species (tokogenetic groups).22 Meier and Willmann (2000) have proposed a modified version of Hennig's species concept. If synapomorphy delimits supraspecific taxa, and if synapomorphy is equal to homology, then homology cannot delimit species. If homology is at all levels of the biological hierarchy, is homology equivalent to synapomorphy? Would not synapomorphy be a kind of homology relative to supraspecific taxa?33 Müller (2003), Wägele (2004), Love (2007), and Assis (2013) have argued that homology and synapomorphy are not synonymous And what kind of homology would be relative to species? Tokogenetic homologies are at the level of species (tokogenetic relationships), whereas synapomorphies are at the level of supraspecific taxa (phylogenetic relationships). Tokogenetic homologies can be associated to any criteria of species delimitation.
