This page, therefore, is meant to serve as a highly simplified introduction to the major features of animal evolution as suggested by recent molecular phylogenetic research, as well as the relationships amongst those groups with significant fossil records.
Genius visualisation project mapping the entire tree of life into a single explorable diagram. @troutio. This will revolutionize how we teach and understand the Tree of Life. It is an invaluable tool for communicating the grand scope of life's history.
Learn about phylogenetic trees and how to interpret them to determine which species are most related.
A phylogenetic tree is a diagram used to reflect evolutionary relationships among organisms or groups of organisms. Scientists consider phylogenetic trees to be a hypothesis of the evolutionary past since one cannot go back to confirm the proposed relationships.
1997 uniquely synthesizes aspects of land plant evolution that include morphology, biomechanics, phylogenetics, and microevolutionary processes. Stewart and Rothwell 1993 and Taylor, et al. 2009 are key paleobotanical texts.
Abstract. In recent years, scientists have made remarkable progress reconstructing the animal phylogeny. There is broad agreement regarding many deep animal relationships, including the monophyly of animals, Bilateria, Protostomia, Ecdysozoa, and Spiralia.
‘The evolutionary tree of animals’ charts the changing views on Animal Kingdom classification from Ernst Haeckel's earliest evolutionary trees in the 1860s to the more modern Coelomata hypothesis.
