A dendrogram depicting the hypothesised branching order of a number of sequences. Cladograms do not give any indication of temporal change, unlike a phylogram which does.

A graphic representation that portrays or attempts to portray the evolutionary relationships among a number of populations, species, or higher taxa.

A tree that depicts inferred historical branching relationships among entities. Unless otherwise stated, the depicted branch lengths in a cladogram are arbitrary; only the branching order is significant.

A tree-like diagram showing evolutionary relationships. Any two branch tips sharing the same immediate node are most closely related. All taxa that can be traced directly to one node (that is they are "upstream of a node") are said to be members of a monophyletic group.
