Hence, taxonomy is a field which never ends. Taxonomic work progress every day with finding new organisms. Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a species or a group of species. In this field, organisms are separated based on the evolutionary relationships. It considers comparative cytology , comparison of DNA, morphological characters, shared ancestral and derived characters.
These evolutionary relationships are important when building taxonomic groups. Phylogenic trees are generated to show the evolutionary relationships among the groups of organisms. A phylogenetic tree or evolutionary tree can be defined as a branching diagram or a tree like structure which shows the evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities.
The branches of the tree indicate the divergence of new species from a common ancestor. The branching pattern of the tree explains how the species in the tree evolved from a series of common ancestors.
At the end of the each horizontal line of the evolutionary tree, species are included. However, these phylogenetic trees are hypothetic. When it is discovered that multiple species are actually just different looking versions of the same species, these lineages can be lumped into one lineage. When multiple species are lumped into one, the species names are synonymized in the same way that two or more words mean the same, two or more species names mean the same and only the older species name prevails.
True or False: Phylogeny A shows that humans and frogs are more closely related than phylogeny B. Tetrapoda is the name of the clade of vertebrate animals with four limbs. Although the common ancestor of Tetrapoda represented by the labeled node below had four limbs, limbs have been evolutionarily lost several times in lineages that descended from this ancestor. Two limbless lineages are represented in our phylogeny: snakes and caecilians. Based on the relationships among the lineages within Tetrapoda, how many times did limblessness evolve in this phylogeny?
For each labeled group 1, 2, and 3 on the phylogeny below, note whether the number indicates a monophyletic group, a paraphyletic group, or a polytomy. Hint: there is at least one of each! These trees actually depict the same phylogeny. Imagine rotating the branch leading to the ancestor of mammals and reptiles in each phylogeny. Rotating branches around their connecting node changes how the phylogeny looks but does not alter any relationships among lineages in that tree.
Evolutionary distance between two lineages is measured by tracing from one tip to the common ancestor of both tips node and back up to the other tip. Follow the red lines to trace the ancestry between frogs and humans in both trees to see that the evolutionary distance is the same. The two lineages in this phylogeny that have lost their limbs snakes and caecilians are found in different clades of the tree.
Thus, there are two origins of limblessness in each of these phylogenies. Here we depict these two events with red squares on the branches leading to these two clades, indicating that limblessness evolved in an ancestor lineage of each of these clades. Note that the phylogeny below is exactly the same as the one above, and thus depicts the two origins of limblessness.
The only difference between the phylogeny above and below is that we have rotated one branch to change the right-to-left order of the tips, as was done in Question 1. In this phylogeny, number 1 indicates a paraphyletic group humans, dogs, and fish because it includes an ancestor but not all of its descendants amphibians, reptiles, and birds. Number 2 indicates a monophyletic group, or a clade, because it includes an ancestor and all of its descendants.
Number 3 indicates a polytomy. Even though the relationships among lineages that descended from node number 3 are unclear, node 3 also indicates a clade, or a monophyletic group.

Citation: AmphibiaWeb. Stated another way, names reflect an organization and it is important to consider whether the organization is inherent to what is being named or inherent to our minds. Keep in mind that naming is a grouping process, i. Faced with diversity , humans lump things together into categories, putting similar things together into groups; this makes the diversity more manageable and this is what classification naming is all about.
Thus the fundamental question to address when naming groups of things is what criteria will be used to group them. For instance, if you are classifying motor vehicles one might group them based on color, on manufacturer , or on type of vehicle.
When considering organisms deciding what criteria to group them on is a tough question: organisms are exceedingly diverse and they differ in myriad ways. Because living things have many, many characteristics, there are many different ways that they can be grouped. One feature relates to the pattern of variation. Consider a group of organisms that has only one characteristic, or perhaps only one characteristic that might distinguish one organism from another, for example, a group of organisms that are all the same except for length.
Figure 2 a and b show two such groups of organisms, one where a classification naming is an accurate reflection of reality and one where it is not. The difference between the two is in the pattern of variation. The group of organisms in figure 1 b is less easily classified because there are no gaps in the distribution of organisms of different sizes; there are no obvious groups, and whatever group you might define has as much variation within it as there is between that gr oup and the remainder of organisms.
Although such a classification is arbitrary and not an accurate reflection of reality, this does not mean that it might not be useful. Both plots are frequency histograms, showing the number of individuals within a series of size classes. Alternatively, if all the size groupings had all three shapes it would make the categories based on size or based on shape less real. In general , organisms show variation that is discontinuous and they exhibit correlation in variation of different characters, and both these features make classification easier.
