"Systematics is the study of the diversification of living forms, both past and present, and the relationships among living things through time."
The study of the diversity of life, including the relationships among organisms and their evolutionary history.
"Relationships are visualized as evolutionary trees (synonyms: phylogenetic trees, phylogenies)."
"Phylogenies have two components: branching order (showing group relationships, graphically represented in cladograms) and branch length (showing amount of evolution)."
"Phylogenetic trees of species and higher taxa are used to study the evolution of traits (e.g., anatomical or molecular characteristics)."
"Phylogenetic trees of species and higher taxa are used to study the distribution of organisms (biogeography)."
"Systematics is used to understand the evolutionary history of life on Earth."
"The word systematics is derived from the Latin word of Ancient Greek origin systema, which means a systematic arrangement of organisms."
"Carl Linnaeus used 'Systema Naturae' as the title of his book."
"Systematics is the study of the diversification of living forms, both past and present."
"Branching order in phylogenetic trees shows group relationships, graphically represented in cladograms."
"Branch length in phylogenetic trees shows the amount of evolution."
"Systematics uses phylogenetic trees to study the evolution of traits, such as anatomical or molecular characteristics."
"Systematics uses phylogenetic trees to study the distribution of organisms, known as biogeography."
"The word systematics is derived from the Latin word of Ancient Greek origin systema, which means a systematic arrangement of organisms."
"Carl Linnaeus used 'Systema Naturae' as the title of his book."
"Systematics is used to understand the evolutionary history of life on Earth."
"The study of systematics is based on the diversification of living forms, both past and present."
"Branching order in phylogenetic trees represents group relationships, graphically shown in cladograms."
"Branch length in phylogenetic trees illustrates the amount of evolution."
