Biology CladisticsClass

cladogenesis -- The development of a new clade; the splitting of a single lineage into two distinct lineages; speciation.

 


Cladogenesis splitting of one species into two or more species
(clado = branch‚ sprout; genesis = origin‚ birth)
Clavicle the collar bone
(clavicul = a key) ...

Cladogenesis
Process of evolutionary branching of basic forms into specialized forms by differentiation, specialization and adaptation. See adaptive radiation.

See Cladogenesis.
spongy parenchyma
In plant leaves, a tissue composed of loosely arranged chloroplast-containing parenchyma cells.

Most speciation is cladogenesis rather than anagenesis.
Most speciation occurs via peripatric speciation.
Large, widespread species usually change slowly, if at all, during their time of residence.

Anagenesis, also known as "phyletic change," is the evolution of species involving an entire population rather than a branching event, as in cladogenesis.

The evolutionary process whereby one species evolves into another without any splitting of the phylogenetic tree. See cladogenesis.
