Methodology of Cladistics Cladistics is a phylogenetic classification method based on shared evolutionary traits, emphasizing common ancestry and phylogenetic relationships among organisms. Performing a cladistic analysis of a group of taxa involves a systematic process of character coding, character state identification, and the construction of a cladogram (phylogenetic tree). Here […]
