Phylogenetics
Phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among organisms, with a focus on tracing the patterns of descent and common ancestry through the analysis of genetic and morphological data. This field employs techniques such as molecular sequencing, cladistics, and phylogenetic trees to reconstruct the evolutionary relationships between different species and to understand the processes of speciation and diversification over time. Phylogenetics plays a crucial role in understanding biodiversity, evolutionary biology, and the classification of organisms.
