This is a documentation subpage for Template:Phylogeny/Squamata. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

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)) ^[1].

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

Full phylogenetic tree

{{Phylogeny/Squamata}}

Partial transclusion of groups

A simple example:

{{Phylogeny/Squamata|label=Toxicofera|wrap=}}

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=}}

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;
|label1=[[Laterata]]
|1={{Phylogeny/Squamata|label=LATERATA|nohidden=}}
}}
