Figure 3 in The last of the large-sized tortoises of the Mediterranean islands

Figure 3. Consensus tree of the seven most parsimonious trees of 5469 steps, resulting from the cladistic analysis of extant and extinct tortoises (22 taxa scored for 177 morphological characters). The femora of the circum-Mediterranean tortoises represent three morphotypes that are independent from body size. They belong mostly to two different morphotypes (I, II) that show a phylogenetic signal within Testudininae, i.e. Testudinini vs. Geochelonini, whereas insular tortoises from the Mediterranean show a different morphotype (III). The simplified drawings are not to scale. Abbreviations: major tr.: major trochanter; minor tr.: minor trochanter.
