A phylogenetic tree or evolutionary tree is a branching diagram or " tree " showing the inferred evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities based upon similarities and differences in their physical and/or genetic characteristics. The taxa joined together in the tree are implied to have descended from a common ancestor . In a rooted phylogenetic tree, each node with descendants represents the inferred most recent common ancestor of the descendants, and the edge lengths in some trees may be interpreted as time estimates.

Is Data Visualization Useful? You’ll Have to Prove It.

Great data visualization is hard to measure: you can’t prove you have a good chart. Unless you can convince your employer to deploy at least two different formats/layouts and are able to compare results, you can say “this is a good chart” but that’s an act of faith, not an act of science.
Инфогра́фика (от лат. informatio — осведомление, разъяснение, изложение; и др.-греч. γραφικός — письменный , от γράφω — пишу) — это графический способ подачи информации , данных и знаний.
