Summary Introduction

To determine: The brachiopods, bryozoans, mollusks and annelids belong to monophyletic, paraphyletic or polyphyletic groups.

Introduction.

A monophyletic group contains a common ancestor and all of its descendants. A paraphyletic group contains a common ancestor but not all of its descendants. A polyphyletic group contains groups of species with different common ancestors.

The phylogenetic tree in Exercise 1 above shows an outdated relationship between Brachiopoda, Bryozoa, and Mollusca. We now know that: (1) Brachiopoda is more closely related to Mollusca; and (2) Bryozoa forms the sister-group to the clade formed by Brachiopoda+Mollusca. In the space below draw a phylogenetic tree showing the correct interrelationships among the 5 clades listed: Bryozoa: Brachiopoda: Linguliformea: Craniiformea: Rhynchonelliformea: Please include mollusca. Should be 6 classes total
