Phylogeny
A phylogeny (or phylogenesis) is the origin and evolution of a set of organisms, usually of a species.
Molecular phylogeny is the use of the structure of molecules to gain information on an organism's evolutionary relationships. The result of a molecular phylogenetic analysis is expressed in a so-called phylogenetic tree.
phylogeny -- The evolutionary relationships among organisms; the patterns of lineage branching produced by the true evolutionary history of the organisms being considered.
Phylogeny
The classification of organisms according to evolutionary criteria.
phylogeny
(fy-loj-en-ee) [Gk. phylon, race, tribe]
The evolutionary history of a species or group of related species.

Phylogeny is the relationship between organisms: how they are related to each other over evolutionary time.
phylogeny The origin and diversification of any taxon, or the evolutionary history of its origin and diversification, usually presented in the form of a dendrogram.

Workshop series on such topics as sequence alignment, phylogeny, and HIV sequence analysis. Every workshop has two main organizers, one each from the mathematical and biological sciences.
Phylogeny: the evolutionary history of a taxon. The graphic representation of a phylogeny is called a phylogenetic tree.
The evolutionary history of a species-which tells the characteristics of the various species from which it descended-together with its genealogical relationship to every other species is called its phylogeny.
I use the term here not in the strict cladistic sense, but in a more inclusive sense to include the living forms as well as fossil vertebrates that had free digits. A discussion of tetrapod phylogeny is available at Phylogeny of stegocephalians, ...
Clade: All descendants of any given species. A single whole branch of a phylogeny. See Cladistics in Evolutionary Biology Notes and Cladistics in Kimball's Biology.
Embryology may be studied from two aspects: (1) that of ontogeny, which deals only with the development of the individual; and (2) that of phylogeny, which concerns itself with the evolutionary history of the animal kingdom.
These phenomena are expressed by the saying that "ontogeny tends to recapitulate phylogeny." In other words, the ontogeny or development of an organism goes back through its evolutionary past.
