Caenophidia	Acrochordidae Xenodermidae Colubroidea Pareidae Viperidae Proteroglypha Homalopsidae Colubridae Lamprophiidae Elapidae

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template contains a phylogeny for squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) based on 52 genes and 4162 species in the combined phylogenomic and supermatrix analysis by Zheng & Wiens (2016)).

The template optionally uses {{clade transclude}} as a wrapper that allows partial transclusion of parts of the phylogenetic tree selected by |label= or |subtree=.

Toxicofera

Note that the above has three hidden clades that can be expanded and collapsed. The interactive elements can be eliminated with the parameter |nohidden=, as shown in the following example:

{{Phylogeny/Squamata|label=Gekkota|wrap=|nohidden=}}

Gekkota	Pygopodomorpha Diplodactylidae Underwood 1954 Pygopodidae Boulenger 1884 Carphodactylidae Gekkomorpha Eublepharidae Gekkonoidea Sphaerodactylidae Underwood 1954 Phyllodactylidae Gekkonidae

The above examples used parameter |wrap= to add an outer clade and label, which defaults to the name of the label or subtree selected. Omitting |wrap= allows a custom cladogram to be build around the selection from the template. .

{{clade |style=background-color:#eeeeff;

}}
