An example of a cladogram

An example of a cladogram
Previous Image | Next Image
Description:

Cladistic analysis produces a cladogram – an evolutionary tree that diagrams evolutionary trends and patterns

Data from an outgroup (a species not closely related to any member of the group) may be included to “root” the tree

Each line represents a lineage, which may branch into two lineages at a node – a common ancestor of two lineages

Every branch on a cladogram is a clade; the two lineages that emerge from a node are sister groups
