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 ...

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.

A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego is making it easier for researchers from a broad range of backgrounds to understand how different species are evolutionarily related, and ...

By combining data on all known bird species, this tree is the most impressive snapshot yet of one of Earth’s most ...

They used Blomberg's K statistic to quantify tree growth phylogenetic signal (TGPS) values. The researchers used two long-term tree growth datasets, one monitoring the growth of 225 tree species ...
