This tree diagram shows the relationships between several groups of organisms.
The root of the current tree connects the organisms featured in this tree to their containing group and the rest of the Tree of Life. The basal branching point in the tree represents the ancestor of the other groups in the tree. This ancestor diversified over time into several descendent subgroups, which are represented as internal nodes and terminal taxa to the right.

You can click on the root to travel down the Tree of Life all the way to the root of all Life, and you can click on the names of descendent subgroups to travel up the Tree of Life all the way to individual species.

close boxDiscussion of Phylogenetic Relationships
The hypothesis of relationships is based on the combined analysis of Warren et al. (2009). Taxa not included in the data matrix are tentatively situated based on shared morphological features discussed in the text.References
