The largest timed molecular phylogenetic tree of life, called a ‘timetree’, to date includes just over 200 primate species, while the largest synthetic timetree, drawing from over 4,000 ...

Adaptive radiations and stasis -- Phylogenetic trees across the order Primates Phylogenetic trees also allow for comparing and contrasting the tempo and mode of evolution among different groups of ...

This may be the reason why biologists have only in the last few decades come to develop a rigorous understanding of phylogenetic trees. This understanding allows present-day researchers to use ...

a pattern known as phylogenetic conservation. For example, deer tend to have one or two young, while canids and felids often give birth to much larger litters. Nearly all primate species give ...
