/ˌfaɪloʊdʒəˈnɛtɪks, -lə-/
(Greek:
φυλή, φῦλον –
phylé, phylon
(= tribe, clan, race + γενετικός)
+
genetikós = origin / source / birth)
.
*in ‘biology’, phylogenetics is the study of the [evolutionary history’ / ‘relationships’] among individuals/groups of ‘organisms’*
(EG ‘species’ / ‘populations’)
.
(these relationships are discovered through ‘phylogenetic inference methods’ that evaluate observed ‘heritable traits’, such as ‘DNA sequences’ or ‘morphology’ under a model of evolution of these traits)
(the result of these analyses is a ‘phylogeny’ (also known as a ‘phylogenetic tree’) – a diagrammatic hypothesis about the history of the evolutionary relationships of a group of ‘organisms’)
(the tips of a ‘phylogenetic tree’ can be living organisms or ‘fossils’, and represent the “end,” or the present, in an evolutionary lineage)
(‘phylogenetic analyses’ have become central to understanding ‘biodiversity’, ‘evolution’, ‘ecology’, and ‘genomes’)
(‘taxonomy’ is the classification, identification and naming of ‘organisms’)
(it is usually richly informed by ‘phylogenetics’, but remains a methodologically and logically distinct discipline)
(the degree to which ‘taxonomies’ depend on ‘phylogenies’ (or classification depends on evolutionary development) differs depending on the school of ‘taxonomy’: ‘phenetics’ ignores ‘phylogeny’ altogether, trying to represent the similarity between organisms instead; ‘cladistics’ (‘phylogenetic systematics’) tries to reproduce ‘phylogeny’ in its classification without loss of information; ‘evolutionary taxonomy’ tries to find a compromise between them)
