2. Cladogram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladogram

   A cladogram (from Greek clados "branch" and gramma "character") is a diagram used in cladistics to show relations among organisms. A cladogram is not, however, an evolutionary tree because it does not show how ancestors are related to descendants, nor does it show how much they have changed, so many differing evolutionary trees can be ...

3. Phylogenetic tree - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylogenetic_tree

   The idea of a tree of life arose from ancient notions of a ladder-like progression from lower into higher forms of life (such as in the Great Chain of Being).Early representations of "branching" phylogenetic trees include a "paleontological chart" showing the geological relationships among plants and animals in the book Elementary Geology, by Edward Hitchcock (first edition: 1840).

4. Binary decision diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_decision_diagram

   In computer science, a binary decision diagram (BDD) or branching program is a data structure that is used to represent a Boolean function. On a more abstract level, BDDs can be considered as a compressed representation of sets or relations. Unlike other compressed representations, operations are performed directly on the compressed ...

   Edward Hitchcock's fold-out paleontological chart in his 1840 Elementary Geology. Although tree-like diagrams have long been used to organise knowledge, and although branching diagrams known as claves ("keys") were omnipresent in eighteenth-century natural history, it appears that the earliest tree diagram of natural order was the 1801 "Arbre botanique" (Botanical Tree) of the French ...

6. Cladistics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladistics

   Cladistics (/ k l ə ˈ d ɪ s t ɪ k s / klə-DIST-iks; from Ancient Greek κλάδος kládos 'branch') [1] is an approach to biological classification in which organisms are categorized in groups ("clades") based on hypotheses of most recent common ancestry.

7. Tree structure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_structure

   A node's "parent" is a node one step higher in the hierarchy (i.e. closer to the root node) and lying on the same branch. "Sibling" ("brother" or "sister") nodes share the same parent node. A node's "uncles" (sometimes "ommers") are siblings of that node's parent. A node that is connected to all lower-level nodes is called an "ancestor".

9. Arborescence (graph theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arborescence_(graph_theory)

   The term arborescence comes from French. [6] Some authors object to it on grounds that it is cumbersome to spell. [7] There is a large number of synonyms for arborescence in graph theory, including directed rooted tree, [3] [7] out-arborescence, [8] out-tree, [9] and even branching being used to denote the same concept.
