Clarifying aetosaur phylogeny requires more fossils, not more trees--reply to intraorganismal homology, character construction, and the phylogeny of aetosaurian archosaurs (reptilia, diapsida).
Character construction, the methods by which characters and character states are produced from observations of variation, is a crucial but poorly understood step in phylogenetic analysis. Alternative approaches are used in practice, but there has been relatively little investigation of their theoretical bases and analytical consequences. We reviewed three published numerical analyses of the phy...
متن کاملBiostratigraphic Utility of the Upper Triassic Aetosaur Tecovasuchus (archosauria:stagonolepididae), an Index Taxon of St. Johnsian (adamanian:late Carnian) Time
The recently recognized aetosaur Tecovasuchus chatterjeei Martz and Small occurs at several localities in lower Chinle Group strata across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Based on lithostratigraphic correlation and other vertebrate occurrences, all Tecovasuchus occurrences are of Adamanian age. Indeed, all occurrences are consistent with assignment to the St. Johnsian sub-land vertebrate faunac...
متن کاملBone histology of phytosaur, aetosaur, and other archosauriform osteoderms (Eureptilia, Archosauromorpha).
As in other archosauriforms, phytosaurs and aetosaurs are characterized by the presence of well-developed osteoderms. Here we provide a comparative study on the microstructure of phytosaur (five taxa) and aetosaur (thirteen taxa) osteoderms. For outgroup comparison, we sampled osteoderms of the sister taxon to Aetosauria, Revueltosaurus callenderi, and the doswelliid Jaxtasuchus salomoni. Phyto...
متن کاملWar and peace in phylogenetics: a rejoinder on total evidence and consensus.
For more than 10 years, systematists have been debating the superiority of character or taxonomic congruence in phylogenetic analysis. In this paper, we demonstrate that the competing approaches can converge to the same solution when a consensus method that accounts for branch lengths is selected. Thus, we propose to use both methods in combination, as a way to corroborate the results of combin...
متن کاملEarly Gnathostome Phylogeny Revisited: Multiple Method Consensus
A series of recent studies recovered consistent phylogenetic scenarios of jawed vertebrates, such as the paraphyly of placoderms with respect to crown gnathostomes, and antiarchs as the sister group of all other jawed vertebrates. However, some of the phylogenetic relationships within the group have remained controversial, such as the positions of Entelognathus, ptyctodontids, and the Guiyu-lin...
