Difference between Cladistics and Phylum

Cladistics vs. Phylum

Cladistics (from Greek κλάδος, cládos, i.e., "branch") is an approach to biological classification in which organisms are categorized in groups ("clades") based on the most recent common ancestor. In biology, a phylum (plural: phyla) is a level of classification or taxonomic rank below Kingdom and above Class.

Similarities between Cladistics and Phylum

Cladistics and Phylum have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Clade, Paraphyly, Phenetics, Phylogenetics, Polyphyly, Systematics, Taxonomy (biology).

Clade

A clade (from κλάδος, klados, "branch"), also known as monophyletic group, is a group of organisms that consists of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants, and represents a single "branch" on the "tree of life".

Paraphyly

In taxonomy, a group is paraphyletic if it consists of the group's last common ancestor and all descendants of that ancestor excluding a few—typically only one or two—monophyletic subgroups.

Phenetics

In biology, phenetics (phainein - to appear), also known as taximetrics, is an attempt to classify organisms based on overall similarity, usually in morphology or other observable traits, regardless of their phylogeny or evolutionary relation.

Phylogenetics

In biology, phylogenetics (Greek: φυλή, φῦλον – phylé, phylon.

Polyphyly

A polyphyletic group is a set of organisms, or other evolving elements, that have been grouped together but do not share an immediate common ancestor.

Systematics

Biological systematics is the study of the diversification of living forms, both past and present, and the relationships among living things through time.
