Figure 3 in An osteology-based appraisal of the phylogeny and evolution of kangaroos and wallabies (Macropodidae: Marsupialia)

Figure 3. Single most parsimonious tree depicting the phylogeny of the Macropodidae, inferred from 83 osteological characters (48 craniodental and 35 postcranial) across 35 taxa (18 extant and 17 extinct). All characters are non-additive (unordered) and unweighted. Unambiguous synapomorphies (•) and homoplastic traits (O) are indicated upon each branch; numbers above represent characters, those below represent character states (see Appendices 1–2). Bootstrap/ jackknife values (where> 50%) are indicated in bold italics above each branch. Tree length = 263 steps; ensemble consistency index = 0.55; ensemble retention index = 0.78.
