Scientists use the fossil record and structural and molecular comparisons to construct phylogenetic trees.
This answer came straight from my freshman Biology book.
Gorillas do not have methods by which to camouflage themselves. Their main advantages in self-protection, aside from their size, are living in groups, their ability to climb up trees, and remaining secretive.

The Northern Luzon giant cloud rat lives in trees and is nocturnal. It lives in the tropical rainforest, but not a lot is known about its diet. Scientists believe it eats tender leaves and other plant parts, and also feeds on fruit.

Some animals live in trees because they can hide from other animals. The trees also keep them cooler and they can find food in the trees.
There are many different methods of dating fossils including their geological stratum and carbon dating. Phylogenetic trees are dated by their geological stratum because they have something called the COI gene that shows they have roots from a long time ago.
Key.
Yes, they change as we learn more about the organism.
The phylogenetic tree is used for the study of evolutionary Biology. The phylogenetic tree is a symbolic diagram that is meant to represent the similarity and differences of different species for comparison with common evolutionary relatives.
Phylogenetic trees represent hypotheses about the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms. A phylogenetic tree may be built using morphological (body shape), biochemical, behavioral, or molecular features of species or other groups.
In 1935 scientists strategically placed trees in spots on the Great Plains. These trees helped reduce the wind and promote new scientific methods of farming.
With the nested hierarchy of phylogenetic trees in front of you, showing in general relief the biochemical, physiological, behavioral relatedness extended from the forked nodes, and going along through time one sees evolution in action. Change over time.
The tree you are referring to is called a phylogenetic tree. It is developed by scientists to show the evolutionary relationships between different animal phyla based on their shared characteristics and genetic information. These trees help to understand the evolutionary history and relatedness of different organisms.

Scientists do not study family trees. Geneticists are scientists who study genetics and inheritance. Genealogists study family trees, but they are not scientists.
Trees in the rainforest obtain their energy by the sunshine from the sun.
They are both deuterostomes. ( look that word up; has to do with embryo development. )
