DESCRIPTION:Since being pioneered by Efron (1979) and introduced to phylog
 enetics by Felsenstein (1985)\, non-parametric bootstrapping has been wide
 ly used in statistics and statistical phylogenetics to generate measures o
 f statistical uncertainty. Less widely adopted is Felsenstein's (1988) sug
 gestion to use parametric bootstrapping (or more generally\, simulation) t
 o assess variability in estimates. Here I give a brief description of boot
 strapping in phylogenetics\, including some associated controversies\, des
 cribe the general framework of parametric bootstrapping and provide some e
 xamples from tree inference and ancestral sequence reconstruction to demon
 strate its flexibility and power.
