FIGURE 13 in A phylogeny of Plesiosauria (Sauropterygia) and its bearing on the systematic status of Leptocleidus Andrews, 1922

FIGURE 13. Four constraint trees built in MacClade (Maddison & Maddison 2003) and analyzed in PAUP* (Swofford 2002). The trees were designed to test for phylogenetic signal in the data set. Constraint trees of (A) Cryptocleidoidea and (B) Simolestes + Leptocleidus + Umoonasaurus, based on the outcome of O'Keefe's (2001a, 2004b) analyses. (C) Tree constraining Leptocleidus and Umoonasaurus with traditionally recognized large­skulled pliosaurid taxa. (D) Constraint tree based on expected outcome of nesting TMP 94.122.01 with Leptocleidus + Umoonasaurus. Abbreviations: OTUs, operational taxonomic units.
