Phylogenetic Classification of Living Mammals - Lecture 2.3

Explore the phylogenetic classification of living mammals in this 19-minute lecture. Delve into the evolutionary relationships and taxonomic groupings of modern mammalian species. Gain insights into the methods used to classify mammals based on their shared ancestry and genetic similarities. Examine key characteristics that define major mammalian groups and understand how scientists organize the diverse array of living mammals into a coherent evolutionary framework. Learn about recent advances in molecular biology and genomics that have refined our understanding of mammalian phylogeny. Discover how this classification system aids in conservation efforts and our comprehension of mammalian biodiversity.
