Fig. 2. PARAMO pipeline.The panels A–E in PARAMO: A Pipeline for Reconstructing Ancestral Anatomies Using Ontologies and Stochastic Mapping

Fig. 2. PARAMO pipeline.The panels A–E represent the five steps of the pipeline (see the text). (E) The size of the stochastic maps S4–S9 is reduced for the illustrative purpose. (F) Three levels of anatomical hierarchy. Abbreviations: C: character, S: stochastic map, ind.: independent character, dep. and syn.: hierarchically and synchronously dependent characters, respectively.
