Contrast the field of systematics with that of taxonomy and phylogenetics. How is systematics defined? How is taxonomy and phylogenetics similar or different from systematics? How did the systematic placement of Calostoma change our understanding of this taxon, in regards to the study Phylogeny of Calostoma, the gelatinous-stalked puffball, based on nuclear and mitochondrial ribosomal DNA sequences by Hughey and colleagues?

How has the abundance and diversity of Bivalves clade changed over time? –How did the synapomorphies of the clade allow the group to diversify and expand? Has the clade been affected by mass extinction events, either positively or negatively? If so, what caused the extinction event? Is the clade now at its most diverse and abundant? Or if that was in the past, when? If still extant, are species in the clade thriving or threatened with extinction?

Examine the following phylogenetic tree illustrated in Figure shown in the first picture. In general, what does a phylogenetic tree illustrate?

Number 1 refers to closest.
A critical concern of systematics is that the genera are , that all the species included in the genus are related to each other by a common ancestor, and that (circle one: all, most, at least half) of the descendants of that common ancestor are in the same genus. Such a genus is (circle one: polyphyletic, monophyletic).
