A dichotomous phylogenetic tree that branches repeatedly, suggesting a classification of organisms based on the time sequence in which evolutionary branches arise.

chart or diagram showing the points of divergent evolution from a common ancestor.

A diagram, resulting from a cladistic analysis, which depicts a hypothetical branching sequence of lineages leading to the taxa under consideration. The points of branching within a cladogram are call [..]

A cladogram is an evolutionary tree that diagrams evolutionary relationships among organisms; branch points show different relationships in time; distinct from a phylogenetic tree branch points which [..]

Cladograms are branching diagrams that depict species divergence from common ancestors. They show the distribution and origins of shared characteristics. Cladograms are testable hypotheses of phylogenetic relationships.

A branching diagram that illustrates hypotheses about the evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms. Cladograms can be considered as a special type of phylogenetic tree that concentrates on [..]

A diagram, in the form of a stylized tree, showing inferred historical branching patterns among taxa.

A phylogenetic tree in which the only information given is about the relationships among taxa (i.e., the length of the branches is not meaningful).

A branching diagram that illustrates hypotheses about the evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms. Cladograms can be considered as a special type of phylogenetic tree that concentrates on [..]

(n) a tree diagram used to illustrate phylogenetic relationships

A tree-like diagram showing evolutionary relationships

A dichotomous phylogenetic tree that branches repeatedly, suggesting a classification of organisms based on the sequence in which evolutionary branches arise; a nested diagram of synapomorphies indicating relations between groups; each point of branching represents divergence from a common ancestor. In the 1980s, cladograms were originally based on [..]

A graphic hypothesis of the phylogeny of a group of organisms, based on the distribution of synapomorphies in the group. Unless other information is added, the sequence of branch points, which represent cladogenesis, is the only information portrayed.

Phylogenetic trees that have clearly implied patterns of ancestry and descent, and a relative time axis. A cladogram is one kind of phylogenetic tree, a common ancestry tree. For some phylogenetic sys [..]

A branching diagram, or dendrogram, based on genealogy and used to represent phyletic relationships (rates of evolutionary divergence are ignored).

    A branching diagram (tree) assumed to be an estimate of a phylogeny (cf. phylogram, dendrogram, phenogram).

A diagram showing nothing more than the sequence in which groups of organisms are interpreted to have originated and diverged in the course of evolution. Class.

A branching diagram depicting relationships among taxa; i.e., an estimated history of the relative sequence in which they have evolved from common ancestors. Used by some authors to mean a branching diagram that displays the hierarchical distribution of derived character states among taxa.

(taxonomy) A branching treelike graphical representation of the phylogenetic relationships between organisms showing which taxa have branched from common ancestors. * '''2000''', Richard Fortey, ‘N [..]
