(Continued from previous question...) What is the difference between a cladogram and a phylogram? A phylogram is a branching diagram (tree) that is
assumed to be an estimate of a phylogeny. The branch lengths are proportional
to the amount of inferred evolutionary change. A cladogram is a branching
diagram (tree) assumed to be an estimate of a phylogeny where the branches are
of equal length. Therefore, cladograms show common ancestry, but do not
indicate the amount of evolutionary "time" separating taxa. It is
possible to see the tree distances by clicking on the diagram to get a menu of
options. The options available allow you to do things like changing the colours
of lines and fonts and showing the
distances. (Continued on next question...)
