the biological species concept.
the phylogenetic species concept.

The phylogenetic species concept defines species based on unique, derived features (synapomorphies) that distinguish them from other groups. Cladists use this approach focusing on evolutionary relationships and shared - derived characteristics. The biological species concept is based on reproductive isolation, the phenetic fossil species concept on overall similarity in fossils, and the Aristotelian species concept is an ancient view not related to derived features in the cladistic sense.
