Figure 5 in Phylogeny of Veneroidea (Mollusca: Bivalvia) based on morphology and molecules

Figure 5. Morphological phylogeny of Veneroidea. A, an example strict consensus tree. B, the best-resolved 50% majorityrule consensus tree (length 135 steps, consistency index = 0.20, retention index = 0.63) based on maximum parsimony heuristic searches of the traditional morphological data set (23 characters) and a restricted set of 45 taxa. See text for a discussion of clades A and B. Subfamily names in parentheses are not monophyletic (see text). *100%.
