FIG. 5 in False teeth: conodont-vertebrate phylogenetic relationships revisited

FIG. 5. — Cladograms generated by PAUP 4.01b10 for Windows (Swofford 2002), data (see Table 2) compiled with NEXUS Data Editor (Page 1999), using 68 unordered, equal weight characters, heuristic search, starting trees obtained by stepwise addition with random addition sequence, tree-bisection-reconnection branch swapping; trees generated using Treeview X (Page 1996): A-C, using the original 17 taxa, characters of Donoghue et al. (2000) recoded (see Appendices 1; 2); Consistency index (CI) = 0.5971, Homoplasy index (HI) = 0.4029, and Retention index (RI) = 0.6940 (see Appendix 4 for CI, HI and RI values for the single characters); 27 shortest trees of equal length = 139 steps, with numbered nodes (cf. apomorphy lists, Appendix 3) for the trees illustrated and 50% majority rule bootstrap values given in italics (under node number) at nodes supported by the bootstrap analyses; A, ACCTRAN character-state optimisation (accelerated appearance of character states), tree 6 of 27 equal length trees; B, DELTRAN character-state optimisation (delayed appearance of character states), tree 4 of 27 equal length trees; C, strict consensus of 27 shortest trees for the original 17 taxa; D, strict consensus of 207 shortest trees (DELTRAN) or 212 shortest trees (ACCTRAN) of equal length = 145 steps for the original 17 taxa plus Myllokunmingia and Yunnanozoon.
