Consensus Area Cladograms use taxa as "traits" to produce a diagram of historical connections and biotic exchanges between areas. Note that unlike lineages (classical cladistics [ex.]) places are not divided by the changing distribution of a monophyletic lineage of organisms. The taxa "traits" may be less influenced by dispersals and extinctions, because multiple lineages are involved. Anon. N.D.
