WHAT IS PHYLOGENY “ A phylogeny, or evolutionary tree, represents the evolutionary relationships among a set of organisms or groups of organisms, called taxa (Singular: Taxon)” - Berkeley. edu It is important to note that the more specific or cryptic a species is the more branches the tree will have. http: //evolution. berkeley. edu/evolibrary/article/phylogenetics_02

PHYLUM: CNIDARIA “Cnidaria is a phylum containing over 10, 000 species of animals found exclusively in aquatic (freshwater and marine) environments: they are predominantly marine species. Their distinguishing feature is cnidocytes, specialized cells that they use mainly for capturing prey. ” https: //en. eikipedia. org/wiki/cnidaria http: //novataxa. blogspot. com/2016/11/erenna. html http: //mesosyn. com/animals 3. html

CLASS: HYDROZOA Cubozoa vs. Scyphozoa vs. Hydrozoa “Hydrozoa (sea Serpent) are a taxonomic class of individually very small, predatory animals, some solitary and some colonial, most living in salt water. The colonies of the colonial species can be lare, and in some cases the specialized individual animals cannot survive outside the colony. ” – https: //en. wikipedia. org/wiki/hydrozoa http: //slideplayer. com/slide/4629799/

ORDER: SIPHONOPHORAE Anthoathecata vs. Leptothecata vs. Siphonophorae “The Siphonophora are an order of the hydrozoa…a siphonophore may appear to be a singe organism, each specimen is in fact a colonial organism composed of small individual animals called zooids that have their own special function for survival. Most colonies are long, thin, transparent pelagic floaters. ”https: //en. wikipedia. org/wik i/siphonophorae https: //www. pinterest. com/pin/44543483788623263/
