All 28 clades below are described on panels in front of the Spectrum of Life Wall. D S OR A cladogram is shaped like a family tree. Scientists use cladograms to organize living organisms according to their characteristics or characters. All the groups that branch off from a branching point, or node, share common characters. The groups at the end of the branches are called "clades" and all the organisms within the clade have the same ancestor. The cladogram pictured here, which represents all living M all of biodiversity TE DS ✱ EN EG M W F African Pied Hornbill Blue-Breasted Kingfisher ind as many of these animal and plant specimens in the diorama as you can. Examine the characters —feet, feathers, bills, skin, fur, leaves, patterns, colors, legs, etc.— of 5 different animals or plants. What do these tell you about: ■ where in the forest the organism lives? ■ how the organism moves? ■ what the organism eats? Look at the characters again: How might particular characters place an animal or plant at risk? You can find more information in the field guides attached to the panel and on the panel itself.
