APPENDIX 4

CHARACTERS IN COMMON ON THE MOST PARSIMONIOUS TREES DIAGNOSING THE NODES ON THE STRICT CONSENSUS TREES IN FIGURE 29

The following is from the analysis of the matrix in appendix 3 with TNT (Goloboff et al., 2003). To recover the same results in PAUP (Swofford, 2002), multistate taxa should be set to ‘‘uncertainty’’ and zero-length branches should be set to collapse if their minimum length is zero (‘‘ambi-’’). Numbers refer to the characters in appendix 2 with the character states in parentheses. With few exceptions, this is the same as that included in Part VI of the online supplementary information of Wible et al. (2007). The exception are: the deletion of Character 73 (0) from the diagnosis of Node E; the addition of Characters 68 (2), 76 (2), 77 (2), 93 (1), 97 (2), and 98 (2) to the diagnosis of Node H 1; and the addition of Character 112 (1) to the diagnosis of Node H 2.
