FIGURE A8. A in Abelisauridae (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Late Jurassic of Portugal and dentition-based phylogeny as a contribution for the identification of isolated theropod teeth

FIGURE A8. A. Strict consensus cladogram of nine most parsimonious trees recovered from the analysis of a supermatrix including a dentition-based datamatrix and six recent datasets based on whole theropod skeleton (i.e., Xu et al. 2009; Brusatte et al. 2010; Martinez et al. 2011; Senter 2011; Pol and Rauhut 2012; Carrano et al. 2012). Initial analysis was a New Technology Search using TNT v.1.1 of a supermatrix comprising 1972 characters for one outgroup (Eoraptor) and 59 nonavian theropod taxa. Tree length = 3583 steps; CI = 0.546; RI = 0.604. B. Strict consensus cladogram of four most parsimonious trees recovered from the analysis of a supermatrix after the deletion of the two wildcard taxa Erectopus and Piatnitzkysaurus. Tree length = 3529 steps; CI = 0.575; RI = 0.642.
