Before we dive into learning about all the different kinds of animals, we have a little bit of work to do. How do we describe the relationships between animals? How does phylogeny work? We have to learn about cladistics, which means we have to learn how to build cladograms. What are those? Let's find out!

just dropping by to say thank you for this series! i've been looking to study these topics independently as a hobby but i was always overwhelmed by the mountains of information i had to sift through. being guided through the basics has been the most helpful thing! many cheers, professor!

@liser5566 2 года назад

I´m studying biology and it´s a good way to explain cladograms and phylogenetics :) Also it´s so important to diferenciate between homologous characters and analogous characters, since analogous characters can lead to false phylogenetic hypotheses

@PunmasterSTP 2 года назад

I'm just curious; how are your studies going?

@The_Jovian Год назад

Are cladograms possible to make with certainty if you are unaware of which similarities are homologous and which are analogous?

@glennpearson9348 2 года назад

Great presentation on cladograms, Professor Dave. Love this stuff!

@naveenchand8402 2 года назад

Please upload more videos on Organic synthesis challenges and mechanism challenges. They really are helping alot.

@PunmasterSTP 2 года назад

Oh yeah that'd be awesome! I like videos breaking down individual reactions and mechanisms, but I think it's the synthesis (and retrosynthesis) questions that really tie everything together and lock in concepts.

@nicholasbailey6622 2 года назад

Starting around 8:30 you mention that traits like flight or warm-bloodedness would be bad traits to choose for cladistic grouping as they are both examples of convergent evolution, not homology. While that's demonstrably true of those traits I feel like the way it's phrased almost implies we should choose traits that we know will give us an answer we pre-determined. It seems to me that really what you'd want to do is have as many traits as possible so that you can separate out homologous and analogous characters.

@MisterWillow 7 месяцев назад

Yes, this point deserves more explaining indeed. It seems like it is a random pick now.

I agree, very informative for those scientifically minded but for some it will be misrepresent by the “ Whack and Atheist” group or AIG news even though it has nothing to do with religious theology. This is taught even in Mainstream Colleges like Georgetown, (Catholic ), Syracuse ( Protestant) to name a few.

@rickschofield3131 2 года назад

I would love to see a video how to incorporate convergent evolution in this type of system how would you incorporate a divergence and a convergence into this system as it would not account for all previous divergences being present on 2 converged characteristics. Would they have to be kept separate but the same?

@liser5566 2 года назад

Convergence can never be used to carry out a phylogenetic study since it is given by analogous characters, which are different in convergent groups Only derived homologous characters can be taken into account to make a cladogram

@vincentheartland2088 2 года назад

While the clades cannot indicate chronology in the sense of an amount of time in absolute units nor do they imply a causal relationship, the phylogenetic tree of life must indicate them as branching in the order of their appearance, right? It works by assessing when that trait first appeared in a given lineage thereby separating that lineage from its parent group, right?

@mikefochtman7164 2 года назад

But what about independently evolved characteristics?!?!?! (watches rest of video) Oh... um... yes, I see. Never mind.... :)

@marccolten9801 2 года назад

Clades are relatively new to me so I welcome this video. Still I am confused. Clades do not seem to be diagnostic but illustrative of decisions you have already made. You can reject similarities because you already know to reject them, like flight. I remember a statement from another RU-vidr’s video that an animal is “... carnivorous, but not a carnivore”. Or that a certain creature belongs in a certain group despite not having a defined characteristic. I’m not sure I see what good they are if you can include or exclude a creature at will. But I’ll keep watching. Thanks.

@scratchoriginalsdh Год назад

I need to build a cladogram using primitive and derived characteristics, abcdefgh and ABCDEFGH, respectively. Of course the letters are mixed for each of 6 mystery creatures (1,2,3,4,5,6). The example cladogram starts the bottom branch with a capital "A", so this has me quite confused. Shouldn't each new branch show the next trait as a lowercase? I wish they were just giving physical characteristics as you have done.

@Dr.IanPlect Год назад

Do you want to go through this?

@scratchoriginalsdh Год назад

@@Dr.IanPlect thank you, I appreciate the offer, but class is long over and done with. I actually survived the question, and ended up with an overall 86 in the course -- not my best showing.

@@Dr.IanPlect yes, that was a percentage. I believe forensic analyses of the human pelvis is what did me in, in that course. 🤣 I am taking online classes and I believe a hands-on experience would have made all the difference. (My in-person anthropology courses had me averaging a 3.9 GPA, so any number under 90 is hard to swallow).

@Dr.IanPlect Год назад

@@scratchoriginalsdh High self-standards! I'm from the UK so I had to look up where 3.9 puts you on the scale, _highly_ ! By the way, I simply have to get this bit resolved; "The example cladogram starts the bottom branch with a capital "A", so this has me quite confused. Shouldn't each new branch show the next trait as a lowercase? I wish they were just giving physical characteristics as you have done." For easy reference throughout my queries, I'm using the cladogram in this vid 0:58 - are you referring to (what you likely _now_ know to be) the root? In other words, the bottom piece of line pointing toward the o in cladograms... - or do you _actually_ mean where the lizard is? (bear in mind, your test cladogram was likely rotated 90 degrees clockwise based upon your wording 'starts the bottom branch'. Or otherwise, where, in regard to the vid cladogram was that A?

@elbee2324 2 года назад

I suspect that humans were deliberately chosen as not the final point of the second main example, to clearly show that having humans above all or the end point is not the point of this system. Something tells me that might be a common misconception for some. :-\

Is Cladistics replacing Taxonomy? I feel like I don't know enough about either to answer my own question.

@secularidiot9052 Год назад

Taxonomy is a hierarchal classification system while cladistics is a conceptual classification system. Taxonomy covers how a group of organisms has something in common while cladistics focuses on how individual animals have something in common. Taxonomy covers all organisms while cladistics hones in on animals and plants. Taxonomy is broad, cladistics is specific. Neither one replaces the other.

@@Dr.IanPlect Well, it was not meant to be a specific comparison. It was just supposed to be a rudimentary description and explanation on why one doesn't replace the other. If you believe that you can provide a better one, then be my guest. If you do have a doctorate in this field, then you would be far better at explaining this than I would.
