Question

According to the phylogenetic tree above, evaluate whether each of the following groups form a monophyletic clade. Note that each of the tips of this tree are clades as well (e.g., "bees" is not a single species, but represents the clade of all bee species). jewel wasps, Vespidae, ants, digger wasps, and bees all wasps solitary wasps, jewel wasps, Vespidae, ants, digger wasps, and bees ants sawflies, Ichneumonid wasps, jewel wasps, Vespidae, ants, digger wasps, and bees

Step 1

Step 2: According to the phylogenetic tree, all these groups share a common ancestor, making them a monophyletic clade. Step 3: Evaluate whether the group of all wasps forms a monophyletic clade. Step 4: The group of all wasps does not include bees and ants, which Show more…
