This diagram is an example of a simple phylogenetic tree. In most cases, researchers draw phylogenetic trees in such a way as to record only those events that are relevant to a set of living taxa.

Example of macroevolutionary patterns as they would appear in a phylogenetic tree, including extinctions, adaptive radiations, and stasis.
