Four butterflies connected to their parents

This project explores the representation of butterfly phylogenies and their connection to the past and future. It discusses different tree building methods and highlights the importance of reading and understanding topological equivalence in phylogenetic studies. The project draws inspiration from Alexander Calder's artwork and incorporates the David HornackWhippo dataset. The composite drawing uses MS Word clip art images and references evolutionary analysis and system biology research.
