What is a cladogram:

  • A cladogram is an infographic that shows the relationships of scientific taxa. These can be useful to show how animals are related in almost any article on organisms.

What can have a cladogram:

  • Any article with enough information in the literature about its systematics can have a cladogram added. A single cladogram can be used on multiple articles.
    • Exception: Cladograms cannot be created in situations where the taxon has not appeared in at least one published analysis. Linnaean systematics cannot be translated into cladograms. Original research cladograms are not allowed.

Formats for cladograms:

  • The most significant features of cladograms can often be altered to fit specific articles with limited space.
  • The font size can be reduced with larger cladograms so that less space is taken up.
    • Default font size is 85% point size but can be changed between 75 and 100% upon request.
  • Line lengths affect how far the cladogram reaches across the page.
    • To fit images in the whitespace beside a cladogram with over 15 taxa a size below 90% is recommended, but sizes upwards that can be used to fill the cladogram across the whole article left-right.
  • Boxing a cladogram can allow for it to be positioned in line with text, and onto specific sides of a page.
    • Exception: Very large cladograms (~40+ taxa) should never be boxed, as they will take up far too much vertical space.
  • When specific formats are wanted please mention them in the cladogram request, otherwise Cladogram Creators will use their own discretion.

Images in cladograms:

  • Images like silhouettes or lateral views of skulls or life restorations can be added to cladograms
    • Note: when adding images, it is important to ensure that |middle is placed before the |thumb or equivalent, otherwise Firefox will render the images aligned to the bottom of the text and the taxon named will become uncentered.

Tips for Cladogram Creators:

  • Try to avoid edit conflicts by promptly replying to all requests that you intend to work on. Losing all your progress isn't fun.
  • Feel free to ask for help from others, we're all in this together.
  • Keep the OR rules in mind when creating cladograms. Don't add unpublished information to them.
  • Feel free to experiment with different features.


Requests

Latrodectus tree request

[edit]

I would really appreciate a tree of Fig 3 from (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2003.10.012). It could probably be simplified a bit by using only the Steatoda gross outgroup and by collapsing some of the clades into single branches where applicable ie merging all the Latrodectus geometricus branches into a single branch. Many thanks, I hate making these in Wikipedia. AxonsArachnida (talk) 03:20, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's fantastic thanks so much! AxonsArachnida (talk) 20:07, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@AxonsArachnida: I think this should work, but some of the branches were a trifle unclear:

Lonchophylla Cladogram Request

[edit]

Hi!

Can I request a cladogram made for Figure 13 in this paper?

Woodman, N. and R.M. Timm. 2006. Characters and phylogenetic relationships of nectar-feeding bats, with descriptions of new Lonchophylla from western South America (Mammalia: Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae: Lonchophyllini). Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington 119(4): 437-476.

Link is here:

https://bioone.org/journals/proceedings-of-the-biological-society-of-washington/volume-119/issue-4/0006-324X_2006_119_437_CAPRON_2.0.CO_2/Characters-and-phylogenetic-relationships-of-nectar-feeding-bats-with-descriptions/10.2988/0006-324X(2006)119[437:CAPRON]2.0.CO;2.full

It doesn't have to be the full tree, if it can just be from Lo. mordax to Xeronycteris that would be perfect. My focus is Lo. hesperia. Thank you so very much! Sawyerblue (talk)

Your link is broken, but I found it anyways through google. I went with the left side, and I figured I'd include all Lonchophyllini, since it looks like Lonchophylla is paraphyletic. Here you go: Cougroyalty (talk) 17:59, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Lonchophyllini

Lophiodontidae cladogram

[edit]

Hello there, may I request a cladogram from Vautrin et al. for the Lophiodontidae? A cladogram can be found in "New Remains of Lophiaspis maurettei (Mammalia, Perissodactyla) from the Early Eocene of France and the Implications for the Origin of the Lophiodontidae." https://hal.science/hal-03432979/ Thank you. PrimalMustelid (talk) 03:15, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Here you go. IJReid {{T - C - D - R}} 16:58, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! PrimalMustelid (talk) 17:47, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Lophiodontidae
It looks like IJReid just beat me to it, but here's one that I created using the color groupings. Probably more than needed, but it was fun making it. Cougroyalty (talk) 17:45, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I can perhaps import this into the Lophiodontidae article later even if I generally don't touch family-level articles. PrimalMustelid (talk) 17:47, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
