cladograms, plural;
  1. A branching diagram showing the cladistic relationship between a number of species

  1. a tree diagram used to illustrate phylogenetic relationships
  2. A cladogram is a diagram used in cladistics which shows ancestral relations between organisms, to represent the evolutionary tree of life. ...
  3. (Cladograms) Cladistics is a method of classifying species of organisms into groups called clades, which consist of 1) all the descendants of an ancestral organism and 2) the ancestor itself. ...
  4. A diagram, in the form of a stylized tree, showing inferred historical branching patterns among taxa.
  5. A tree that depicts inferred historical branching relationships among entities. Unless otherwise stated, the depicted branch lengths in a cladogram are arbitrary; only the branching order is significant.
  6. A phylogenetic tree in which the only information given is about the relationships among taxa (i.e., the length of the branches is not meaningful).
  7. A diagram depicting patterns of shared characteristics among species.
  8. Clad. A diagram showing a phylogeny as a strictly branching tree, usually as a bifurcating tree.
  9. A diagram, resulting from a cladistic analysis, which depicts a hypothetical branching sequence of lineages leading to the taxa under consideration. The points of branching within a cladogram are called nodes. All taxa occur at the endpoints of the cladogram.
  10. a cladistic representation of a phylogeny, whereby only the branching order is displayed
  11. a branching diagram that arranges organisms according to their shared and unshared characteristics; often used to construct hypotheses about the ancestor-descendant relationships of those organisms.
  12. A tree-like diagram showing evolutionary relationships. Any two branch tips sharing the same immediate node are most closely related. All taxa that can be traced directly to one node (that is they are "upstream of a node") are said to be members of a monophyletic group.
  13. A scientific diagram showing the evolutionary relationships between different living things.  If you start at the bottom of a cladogram and work your way to an animal at the top, you can trace its major adaptations over time. ...
  14. Diagram showing relatedness of clades to one another; serves as a visual display of a hypothesis on evolutionary relationships between clades.
  15. in cladistics, a graphic depiction of evolutionary relationships based on shared derived characters
  16. A diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms and uses shared derived characters as a basis for grouping organisms.
  17. diagram of how species are related
  18. A dichotomous phylogenetic tree that branches repeatedly, suggesting a classification of organisms based on the time sequence in which evolutionary branches arise.
