LichoIs there something analogous to #ClintReptiles but for #botany? I want someone to explain me the #plant branch of the tree of life while telling how much they love it, clade by clade.

grimmigesShouldn't that read, "In #cladistics, ..." or "...in a cladogram, phylogram, chronogram or, in general, a rooted dichotomous tree."
Because this is also an evolutionary tree, probably the first-ever published. In contrast to common cladograms, it depicts explicit ancestor-descendant relationships and not only sister groups.
The same guy also published the possibly first #evolutionary #network (#CoralOfLife): generalisation of the evolutionary trees
Matt WillemsenWhat is the 'tree of life'?

RationalWikiIn biology, #cladistics is a taxonomical technique for arranging organisms according to how they branch in the evolutionary tree of life.
A group of organisms is analysed and classified into a tree-like diagram called a cladogram, showing hypothesised lines of descent. The analysis may use morphological similarity, but most often DNA differences and biochemical data.
Cladistics has all but taken over from the older Linnaean taxonomy, which originated before the theories of #evolution and common descent.
Cladistic techniques do not assume any particular theory of evolution, only the concept of descent with modification. As such, cladistic methods are usefully applied to non-biological systems, including historical linguistics and textual criticism. Even #creationism had to create its own version of cladistics, called baraminology.
Adam S. SmithI'm running cladistic analyses of biscuits again. I haven't done this since Smith (2005) in the Journal of Unlikely Science.
Hal CanaryIf a small population of velociraptors had survived to the present, would we call them birds?
I'm curious, would anybody else find a Wikipedia-style cladogram system useful for their Wordpress site?

Martin RundkvistSurprised to learn that good old paramecium, the lively slipper-like infusorians we used to look at in middle school, are quite closely related to porphyra red algae. Both groups are in the clade Diaphoretickes. This was not understood until 2008, when #cladistics had made the shift to genetic methods.
Adam YatesI wonder if someone out there can help me. Say for instance you had two cladistic matrices in nexus file format. They are of identical dimensions and for the most part are identical but one has a few cell changes. Suppose I want to find what those changes are. Is there a program that will highlight where the differences lie?
