How To Use cladogram In A Sentence
- Biologists often specify the evolutionary relationships among organisms via a treelike diagram called a cladogram.
- The result of a cladistic analysis is a cladogram, a diagram of nested synapomorphies that defines relationships in a relative way.
- As you see from the little cladogram I’ve knocked up here [click for larger version], bat diphyly and archontan monophyly makes it at least possible – and phylogenetically parsimonious – that flight was primitive for the megabat-primate clade, or in other words that primates are secondarily flightless.

- In this cladogram and in all other eukaryote cladograms, we use the following color scheme: animals are blue, fungi are dark red, plants are green, and protists are yellow.
- A strict consensus of these cladograms yielded eight taxa resolved at the base of the cladogram and 18 taxa partly resolved in four subclades, but the majority of taxa were unresolved.
- The topologies of each of these eight cladograms were identical to the MMPC, except that the relative position of Proconsul varied across the set creating a polytomy between Proconsul and the two hominoid clades.
- Neither of these jawless fish has a bony skeleton, but most of the fossil groups listed on the cladogram had a fairly extensive covering of bony plates.
- This large amount of overlap drives the inference of isolation-by-distance for the overall cladogram.
- The first group is identical to the commelinoid group of monocotyledons identified as a monophyletic clade in cladograms using the rbcL gene.
- To represent this, we have used multiple lines drawn to paraphyletic groups in the cladogram above.
