Monophyletic descended from a common evolutionary ancestor or
ancestral group
Paraphyletic descended from a common evolutionary
ancestor or ancestral group, but not including
all the descendant groups
Polyphyletic derived from more than one common
evolutionary ancestor or ancestral group and
therefore not suitable for placing in the
same taxon
Presence of embryonically derived
membrane. Tend to be more terrestrial,
but some are secondary aquatic species (sea
Amniotes
turtles and whales). Well established by the
late Devonian Period (416my). Early versions had
similar characteristics such as scales, no hair or
feathers, very dilute urine, simple lungs, and
single heart
ventricle. Amniotes also have oxygen
extraction, temperature control,
osmoregulation, and circulation.
Non-amniotes Absence of embryonically derived membrane
Sauropsids ("lizard face") Examples of amniotes
