Cladistics publishes comprehensive research on systematics, and is read by scientists working in evolution, systematics, and integrative biology. Our journal encourages debate on all aspects of the …

Cladistics (/ kləˈdɪstɪks / klə-DIST-iks; from Ancient Greek κλάδος kládos 'branch') [1] is an approach to biological classification in which organisms are categorized in groups ("clades") based on …

The basic idea behind cladistics is that members of a group share a common evolutionary history, and are "closely related," more so to members of the same group than to other organisms.

In systematics and taxonomy, cladistics helps scientists name and classify organisms into monophyletic groups, ensuring that classifications reflect true evolutionary history rather than superficial similarities.

Jun 12, 2017 · Cladistics refers to a biological classification system that involves the categorization of organisms based on shared traits.

Cladistics is a class of methods of biological classification that groups taxa hierarchically into discrete sets and subsets. This article presents the principles and concepts of cladistics and describes the …

Jun 11, 2019 · Cladistics is a biological classification system based on analysis of traits, genetic makeup or physiology that were shared with a common ancestor until some type of divergence occurred, …

Cladistics publishes high-quality research papers on systematics, encouraging debate on all aspects of the field, from philosophy, theory, and methodology to empirical studies and applications in …

After they sort the homologous and analogous traits, scientists often organize the homologous traits using cladistics. This system sorts organisms into clades: groups of organisms that descended from …

Cladistics is distinguished from other taxonomic classification systems because it focuses on evolution (rather than focusing on similarities between species), and because it places heavy emphasis on …
