  2. Outgroup (cladistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outgroup_(cladistics)

    A simple cladogram showing the evolutionary relationships between four species: A, B, C, and D. Here, Species A is the outgroup, and Species B, C, and D form the ingroup. In cladistics or phylogenetics, an outgroup [1] is a more distantly related group of organisms that serves as a reference group when determining the evolutionary relationships of the ingroup, the set of organisms under study ...

  3. Cladogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladogram

    A nonoptimal cladogram will be selected if the program settles on a local minimum rather than the desired global minimum. [16] To help solve this problem, many cladogram algorithms use a simulated annealing approach to increase the likelihood that the selected cladogram is the optimal one. [17]

  4. Cladistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladistics

    Of course, the potential unreliability of evidence is a problem for any systematic method, or for that matter, for any empirical scientific endeavor at all. [ 35 ] [ 36 ] Transformed cladistics arose in the late 1970s [ 37 ] in an attempt to resolve some of these problems by removing a priori assumptions about phylogeny from cladistic analysis ...

  5. Dinosaur classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur_classification

    While it is structured so as to reflect evolutionary relationships (similar to a cladogram), it also retains the traditional ranks used in Linnaean taxonomy. The classification has been updated from the second edition in 2000 to reflect new research, but remains fundamentally conservative.

  6. Clade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clade

    Cladogram (a branching tree diagram) illustrating the relationships of organisms within groups of taxa known as clades. The vertical line stem at the base represents the last common ancestor . The blue and orange subgroups are clades, each defined by a common ancestor stem at the base of its respective subgroup branch .

  7. Caminalcules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caminalcules

    This was indeed the case; for example, Robert R. Sokal used the Caminalcules to investigate the ability of different numerical methods to estimate the true cladogram [3] as well as the consequences of introducing fossil species into a data set for cladistic and phenetic classifications. [4]

  8. Phylogenetic diversity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylogenetic_diversity

    It is defined and calculated as "the sum of the lengths of all those branches that are members of the corresponding minimum spanning path", [1] in which 'branch' is a segment of a cladogram, and the minimum spanning path is the minimum distance between the two nodes.

  9. Template:Phylogeny/APG IV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Phylogeny/APG_IV

    The whole system can be output as a large cladogram or sections can be selected for partial transclusion. Partial transclusion is available for Magnolids, Monocots, Commelinids, Eudicots, Superrosids, Malvids, Fabids, Superasterids, Campulids, and Lamiids.
