FIGURE 1 in Phylogenies without Synapomorphies-A Crisis in Fish Systematics: Time to Show Some Character

FIGURE 1. Simplified topologies of Smith and Wheeler (2004) (A) and Smith and Craig (2007) (B) to show differences in sister taxon assignment from one study to the other. Topologies have been pruned to include only the taxa shared by both studies and collapsed to show only nodes with jackknife resampling values of 95% or higher to facilitate comparison. Bolded taxa associated with black bars show the differences in sister taxon for the atheriniform/Gramma/ Salarias clade, with Hoplichthys in (A) and Champsodon in (B). Black bars on the trees show the number of nodes between the alternate sister taxon and the clade (10 nodes away in A, 5 nodes away in B). Underlined and bolded taxa associated with open bars show the differences in sister taxon for Parapercis, with Diplectrum in (A) and Centrogenys in (B). Open bars on the trees show the number of nodes between the alternate sister taxon and Parapercis (5 nodes in A, 8 nodes in B).
