A phylogenetic tree is a representation of the evolutionary/genealogical relationships among a collection of organisms (or molecular sequences). There are many different ways to draw these trees, but they share a common set of features: terminal nodes, branches connected by internal nodes, perhaps a root, and a scale (Fig. 4.2).
