Species of the infraorder Cetacea A phylogenetic tree showing the relationships among cetacean families. [1]The evolution of cetaceans is thought to have begun in the Indian subcontinent from even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla) 50 million years ago (mya) and to have proceeded over a period of at least 15 million years.

SplitsTree is a popular freeware program for inferring phylogenetic trees, phylogenetic networks, or, more generally, splits graphs, from various types of data such as a sequence alignment, a distance matrix or a set of trees.
A viewer capable of viewing multiple overlaid trees. All [23] FigTree: Simple Java tree viewer able to read newick and nexus tree files. Can be used to color branches and produce vector artwork. All [24] JEvTrace A multivalent browser for sequence alignment, phylogeny, and structure.
Cetacean species articles can contain: a short introduction on the species, such as whether it is baleen or toothed physical characteristics such as their birth and adult sizes and weights for both sexes, colour, callosities, fin placement, size and shape, and how one may distinguish between that and other species
A phylogenetic tree, phylogeny or evolutionary tree is a graphical representation which shows the evolutionary history between a set of species or taxa during a specific time. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In other words, it is a branching diagram or a tree showing the evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities based upon ...
The result of these analyses is a phylogeny (also known as a phylogenetic tree) – a diagrammatic hypothesis about the history of the evolutionary relationships of a group of organisms. [6] Phylogenetic analyses have become central to understanding biodiversity, evolution, ecological genetics and genomes .
The Tree of Life Web Project (ToL) is an Internet project providing information about the diversity and phylogeny of life on Earth. [1] [2] This collaborative peer reviewed project began in 1995, and is written by biologists from around the world. The site has not been updated since 2011, however the pages are still accessible.

A simple phylogenetic tree example made from arbitrary data D The likelihood of a tree T {\displaystyle T} is, by definition, the probability of observing certain data D {\displaystyle D} ( D {\displaystyle D} being a nucleotide sequence alignment for example i.e. a succession of n {\displaystyle n} DNA site s {\displaystyle s} ) given the tree.
