*** WHAT'S COVERED ***
1. What phylogeny is
* How phylogenetic trees visualise evolutionary relationships between species
* The significance of branching points and horizontal distances on a tree
* The benefits of using a continuous, non-overlapping classification system
2. The differences between artificial and modern classification
* The limitations of artificial classification that relies solely on physical traits
* How modern classification uses molecular comparisons, embryology, comparative anatomy, and behavioural studies
3. Courtship behaviour
* The biological definition of a species and interspecies breeding
* How species-specific signals and actions help animals recognise suitable mates and coordinate mating times
