Figure 5 in Coding characters from different life stages for phylogenetic reconstruction: a case study on dragonfly adults and larvae, including a description of the larval head anatomy of Epiophlebia superstes (Odonata: Epiophlebiidae)

Figure 5. The single most-parsimonious trees from the TNT analyses: A, matrix AC (artificial coding; tree length, L = 113; consistency index, CI = 79; retention index, RI = 77); B, matrix NMC, applying non-multistate coding and preferring the adult character state over the larval state in the case of character state conflict (L = 89; CI = 88; RI = 83); C, matrix MC, applying a multistate coding strategy in cases of conflict between larval and adult morphology (L = 57; CI = 91; RI = 85); D, matrix SC, coding larval and adult characters seperately within the same taxon (L = 159; CI = 88; RI = 82). Non-homoplasious character changes are indicat- ed with black squares; homoplasious characters are indicated with white squares. Trait numbers are indicated above squares, state changes below. The 'M' below the character state changes in (C) indicates a multistate character optimized as an autapomorphy. For trait references, see Table S1 and Table S6; for detailed trees, see Figure S7.
