Figure 5. A, strict consensus tree from 11 in A new leptarctine (Carnivora: Mustelidae) from the early Miocene of the northern Tibetan Plateau: implications for the phylogeny and zoogeography of basal mustelids

Figure 5. A, strict consensus tree from 11 shortest trees (tree length = 79 steps) recovered using the Branch and Bound option in PAUP (Swofford, 1993) on a 17 ¥ 31 data matrix (Table 2); B, bootstrap analysis performed on the same data matrix. Numbers at the nodes indicate per cent bootstrap support from heuristic search based on 100 replicates. Only groups with a frequency of greater than 50% are retained.

Below, map of selected vertebrate fossil localities and their geological relationships in the Danghe area (adapted from Wang et al., 2003c: fig. 2). Only the early Miocene localities in the Xishuigou Fauna are plotted (in upper right quadrant), along with the late Oligocene Yindirte Fauna (in lower left quadrant).

Figure 6 in A new leptarctine (Carnivora: Mustelidae) from the early Miocene of the northern Tibetan Plateau: implications for the phylogeny and zoogeography of basal mustelids

Figure 6. Cladogram of basal musteloids. A single tree with a length of 77 was found using the Branch and Bound option in PAUP (Swofford, 1993) on a 16 ¥ 31 data matrix (Table 2). Character distributions were optimized using ClaDos (version 1.2, Kevin Nixon). As ClaDos does not accept a matrix with two-state codings, we converted the two-state characters into a single derived state.

Open arrows pointing right and left indicate eastward and westward migration events respectively.
