The 12 pages that link to Paraphyly, each with the reason it gives.

• TaxonomyCompared with: It challenges classifications that aim to represent complete branches of evolutionary history.

• Taxonomic rankRelated: Some traditional ranked taxa are paraphyletic and omit descendant groups.

• CladeCompared with: A paraphyletic group fails the all-descendants rule that defines a clade.

• Evolutionary taxonomyBroader topic: Paraphyletic groups can represent distinctive evolutionary grades in this approach.

• ColubridaeRelated: Traditional Colubridae was often treated as paraphyletic in molecular classifications.

• MonophylyCompared with: It differs from monophyly by leaving at least one descendant lineage outside the group.

• AgnathaRelated: Traditional Agnatha may be paraphyletic if jawed vertebrates descended from jawless ancestors.

• GenusRelated: A genus may be revised when evidence shows it excludes descendant lineages.

• Insect taxonomyCompared with: Phylogenetic classification challenges traditional insect groups that omit descendants.

• DicotyledonRelated: This describes the traditional dicotyledon grouping in modern evolutionary classifications.

• PsocopteraRelated: Psocoptera is often called paraphyletic because parasitic lice descend from within its lineage.

• Incertae sedisCompared with: It identifies a specific grouping problem, unlike an unresolved placement.
