We present a survey of methods and results in the application of knot and link theory to the study of periodic orbit structures in three dimensional flows. In particular, we examine the genealogy of periodic orbits in the “natural” suspension of the horseshoe diffeomorphism on R 2. By collapsing along strong stable manifolds, we obtain the template, a branched two-manifold carrying a semiflow which preserves the knot and link data of the original flow. With the additional tools of one-dimensional kneading theory and Hamiltonian bifurcation theory, we indicate how results concerning horseshoe knots can be used to study bifurcations in a two-parameter family of Henon maps.
