Systematics
From Free net encyclopedia
- For other uses, see Systematics (disambiguation).
In biology, systematics is the study of the diversity of organism characteristics, and especially how they relate evolutionarily, that is establishing their phylogeny. The term "systematics" may or may not overlap with "taxonomy" which concerns itself with scientific classification of species and other taxa. Recent developments are cladistics and molecular systematics.
