13 paź 2017 · Phylogenetic trees are an essential component of undergraduate biology education that remain difficult for students to interpret. Our in situ research documents common reasoning patterns used by students in an introductory biology course.
Phylogenetic trees are relevant to many areas of biological sciences, and thus appear in a wide range of scientific journals. Only a handful of journals (e.g., Trends in Ecology and Evolution and Cladistics), however, regularly contain articles discussing how to interpret phylogenetic trees.
1 gru 2014 · We sought to characterize reasoning used by introductory biology students in interpreting taxa relatedness on phylogenetic trees, to measure the prevalence of correct taxa-relatedness...
14 kwi 2023 · Tree thinking: An introduction to phylogenetic biology. Greenwood Village, CO: Roberts. This textbook provides a broad introduction to tree thinking, with several chapters devoted to interpreting evolutionary relatedness and patterns of trait evolution using phylogenies.
Interpretation of phylogenetic trees is fundamental in understanding the relationships between organisms, their traits or characteristics, their ecology and even their genomic and developmental biology.
