This diagram is an example of a simple phylogenetic tree. 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.

These are Jukes-Cantor distances based on number of mtDNA sequence differences. [See Glossary and pp. 91-93 of Hall, B.G. 2001. Phylogenetic Trees Made Easy. Sinauer, for more on evolutionary models ...

Brown said the key to understanding the genomic evidence came from Oaks, who started looking at gecko groups with a new approach to conceiving phylogenetic trees. Instead of one species branching ...

"In our paper, we draw a fully quantitative line in the ... The specific palm species and its place on the palm family phylogenetic tree determines its minimum cold tolerance.

Biologists will be able to reconstruct the process of evolution, determine relationships between species and build phylogenetic trees with greater accuracy thanks to a new method for identifying ...
