Phylogenetic relationships within the Canidae are examined, based on three genes (cytb, COI, COII) and 188 morphological, developmental, behavioural and cytogenetic characters. Both separate and combined phylogenetic analyses were performed. To inspect the phylogenetic 'behaviour' of individual taxa, basic phylogenetic analysis was followed by experimental cladistic analyses based on different data-partition combinations and taxon-removal analyses. The following phylogeny of the Recent Canidae is preferred: (1) Urocyon is the most basal canid; (2) Vulpes is a monophyletic genus (including Fennecus and Alopex); (3) the doglike canids (DC) form a clade (=Dusicyon + Pseudalopex + Lycalopex + Cerdocyon + Atelocynus + Chrysocyon + Speothos + Lycaon + Cuon + Canis), split into two subclades, South American and Afro-Holarctic, with uncertain position of the Chrysocyon + Speothos subclade; (4) Canis is paraphyletic due to the position of Lycaon and Cuon. Otocyon and Nyctereutes are the most problematic canid genera, causing an unresolved branching pattern of Otocyon, Vulpes, Nyctereutes and DC clades. Reclassification of the two basal species of 'Canis' into separate genera is proposed (Schaeffia for 'C.' adustus, Lupulella for 'C.' mesomelas). Although the morphological dataset ranked poorly in both separate and simultaneous analyses (measured by number of minimum-length topologies, relative number of resolved nodes in the strict consensus of all minimum-length topologies, consistency and retention indices, nodal dataset influence, and number of extra steps required by the data partition to reach the topology of the combined tree), the morphological synapomorphies represent nearly one quarter of all synapomorphies in the combined tree. Among the hidden morphological support of the combined tree the developmental and behavioural characters are conspicuously abundant.
