Phylogenetic Analysis of Morphological Character of 5 Taxa from the Previous Studies

In the past, a population of common ancestor organisms underwent a division, leading to the emergence of distinct organisms that are currently being studied. Scientists have identified and described millions of species, but figuring out how they are related is a complex task. A cladogram is a diagram that can help scientists to visualize the relationships between species based on the concept of shared derived characters. By giving weight to derived characters and recognizing ancestral characteristics, scientists can compare different phylogenies of the same groups of organisms. Lepisma saccharina, Apis mellifera scutellata, Bradypodicola hahneli, Amata huebneri, Amphipyra tragopoginis, and Appias libythea olferna represent different orders and may have distinct species richness. The data matrix and analysis of shared unique characters in cladograms help determine phylogenetic relationships among the selected taxons.
