Concept explainers
To describe: The geographic distributionand various types of birds that were examined by the Cooper in his study.
Introduction: The classification of species on the basis of evolutionary relationships between the organisms is called “cladistics.”Construction of a phylogenetic tree can be done by applying the cladistic approach. In this approach, the characters which are shared or not shared between different species, based on the evolutionary changes, are constructed in the form of a phylogenetic tree.
To describe: The reason for the selection of various bird species by Cooper.
