cladistic analysis
cladistic analysis The method of analysis which aims to discover
clades and their interrelationships. For each taxon of the group being analysed,
character states are ordered by their
polarity, to find which taxa are united by most
derived states. Only the sharing by two taxa of derived character states is evidence that they belong to the same clade.
