The concept of a species as an irreducible group whose members are descended from a common ancestor and who all possess a combination of certain defining, or derived, trait. Instead of trying to determine the reproductive boundaries of populations, scientists using the phylogenetic species concept attempt to uncover their genealogical relationships. A group of individuals that includes all the descendants of one common ancestor, leaving no descendants out, is called a monophyletic group.
