This page has a collection of animal phylogenies, which is intended as a resource for editing phylogenetic trees in the main namespace.

    • Giribet (2015) [5] – hypothetical phylogeny with red (unstable position), blue (stable position, but disagreement) and green (widely supported) clades. Red includes the mesozoan phyla and cycliophora (both within Spiralia) and Scalidophora. Specifies basal Ctenophores and order within Lophotrochozoa. Chaetognatha basal within Protostomia. Green includes Metazoa, Planulozoa, Xenacoelomorpha, Chordata, Protostomia, Ecdysozoa, Spiralia, Gnathifera, Rouphozoa, Platytrochozoan and Lophotrochozoa. Blue includes Parahoxozoa, Bilateria, Nephrozoa, Deuterostomia, Ambulacraria, Nematoida, Panarthropoda, and Lophophorata.
    • Giribet et al (2016)[6] – consensus phylogeny with polytomies where there is uncertainty (two trichotomies at base of tree, scalidophora)
    • Giribet & Edgecombe (2020)[7] – consensus phylogeny with polytomies where there is uncertainty (two trichotomies at base of tree, scalidophora), but updated to position Chaetognatha in or as sister to Gnathifera, to place mesozoan taxa and Cyliophora within Spiralia
