Figure 3 in Phylogeny of Veneroidea (Mollusca: Bivalvia) based on morphology and molecules

Figure 3. Morphological phylogeny of Veneroidea: an example 50% majority-rule consensus tree (length 234 steps, consistency index = 0.13, retention index = 0.74) based on a maximum parsimony heuristic search of the traditional morphological data set (23 characters) and 114 taxa. See text for a discussion of clades A, B, and C. Subfamily names in parentheses are not monophyletic (see text). *100%.
