What do phylogenetic trees illustrate? These diagrams don't just organize knowledge of biodiversity - they also show us that living species are the summation of their evolutionary history.

In most cases, researchers draw phylogenetic trees in such a way as to record only those events that are relevant to a set of living taxa. Most commonly, these taxa are species. For example ...

In biology, phylogenetic trees represent the evolutionary history and diversification of species -- the "family tree" of Life. Phylogenetic trees not only describe the evolution of a group of ...

The newly proposed phylogenetic tree suggests the Dragon Man is most closely related to this jaw, called the Xiahe mandible. "They probably belong to the same species," Ni says. But he's hesitant ...

The researchers combined data from five openly shared databases of tree species and their distributions, with information on the phylogenetic relations between species, and their ecomorphological ...

ROADIES—which stands for "Reference-free, Orthology-free, Annotation-free, Discordance-aware Estimation of Species Trees"—stands apart from existing phylogenetic tools because it uses a ...

The resulting phylogenetic estimate offers novel insights ... which were then compiled into a comprehensive species tree. This meticulous approach enabled the researchers to construct a new ...
