Figure 2.

Phylogenetic, temporal and geographical relationships among non-coelurosaurian tetanurans. Tree is based on one preferred representative of 172 MPTs (see S7 in the electronic supplementary material). The majority of taxa are known from single specimens and/or horizons, so range bars reflect uncertainty in age rather than actual stratigraphic range. Several clades are indicated: node 1, Tetanurae; node 2, Spinosauroidea; node 3, Allosauroidea; node 4, Carcharodontosauridae. Shapes above taxa correspond to continental area/s in which the taxon occurs.
