I think something important to add to the article would be the methods of identifying species that exhibit long branch attraction. The idea is recent so not many people will know how to tell apart the species that exhibit similar characteristics but have a very ancient ancestor.
Examples of species that exhibit long branch attraction would also be welcomed because examples would help to back up the idea.
It might also be helpful to insert a morphology tree to be able to show the relationship between species that exhibit long branch attraction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Westrick.36 ( talk • contribs) 03:34, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
This article is very unclear and needs to be rewritten. There is a little too much jargon but more importantly the explanation is poor. I think I understand it and my version is below. I can't edit the page itself because I don't know anything about this topic and I may be completely wrong. Anybody who does know, please rewrite and feel free to pinch all, some of none of this ...
If you are an expert in something you should be able to explain it in four sentences to somebody who is generally educated but totally ignorant of the subject. This is how wikipedia should be written - it is a general interest encyclopedia, not a technical one. If you can't explain the thing clearly in four sentences, then you're not an expert.

I am an expert in this field -- here's my stab at a first rewrite. I haven't changed the article because I think it also needs citation of Felsenstein (1978) and Huelsenbeck and Hillis (1993) as well as additional tweaking.

The example figure does not show LBA. If LBA is occuring, the long branches (A & C) will be joined together first (i.e. be inferred as "sister" species) and then a branch will link the A-C node and the B-D node. This figure shows the exact opposite!
The figure needs to be redone so that A joins with C, B joins with D, and the internal branch goes from AC-BD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.147.146.206 ( talk) 20:40, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
This article would be better off deleted than keeping as it is. It doesn't explain how LBA actually occurs in a way that anyone understands, its examples are full of meaningless boilerplate and illustrate nothing, and even the graphic is wrong. Come on, LBA is due to lineages diverging a lot? How on Earth does their fast divergence result in being clustered together? Someone please look into this. I'm not doing it because I'm not currently working in the field. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8A0:F009:9A01:5CD4:F85C:6FE4:3692 ( talk) 23:46, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
The "Example" section is disappointing. I was expecting to see a real example. Maproom ( talk) 07:25, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
La verdad no mide consecuencias, y cada información tiene un valor de consecuencias, dando lugar a la redundancia, y en mi opinion, la redundante es capas de proyectar una imágen infinita. señores no es necesario un título o maestría, para ver que la constante elevada, hará el trabajo. la robótica de enjambre, es tan buena, como, tan mala, solo depende del sujeto, que en este caso, es la intención. pido atención a la brillante imaginación de niños , por y para los cuales, la nueva era tiene seguro su legado.
