7. Clade: A set of species which includes all of the species derived from a single common ancestor

9. Species I. Definitions: Species = the basic unit of classification > Three different ways to recognize species:
10. Definitions: > Three different ways to recognize species: 1) Morphological species = the smallest group that is consistently and persistently distinct (Clusters in morphospace) species are recognized initially on the basis of appearance; the individuals of one species look different from the individuals of another Plant Species
11. Definitions: > Three different ways to recognize species: 2) Biological species = a set of interbreeding or potentially interbreeding individuals that are separated from other species by reproductive barriers species are unable to interbreed Species
12. Definitions: > Three different ways to recognize species: 3) Phylogenetic species = the boundary between reticulate (among interbreeding individuals) and divergent relationships (between lineages with no gene exchange) Species
14. Definitions: > Three different ways to recognize species: 4) Phylogenomics species = ability to transmit (and maintain) a (stable) gene pool Adresses the Anopheles genome topology variations Species

17. Outgroups, rooted versus unrooted An unrooted reptilian phylogeny with an avian outgroup and the corresponding rooted phylogeny. The R i represent modern reptiles; the A i , inferred ancestors and the B a bird.
