Fig 6. Quadrate-based phylogeny of non-avian theropods.

Fig 6

Strict consensus cladogram from most parsimonious trees after the a posteriori deletion of Monolophosaurus. Initial analysis was a New Technology Search using TNT v.1.1 of a supermatrix comprising 98 quadrate-based characters combined with seven recent datasets (i.e., [14,69–71,73,132]) based on the whole skeleton, for one outgroup (Eoraptor lunensis) and 18 non-avian theropod taxa. Tree length = 4994; CI = 0.522, RI = 0.611. Dinosaur silhouettes by Scott Hartman (all but Coelophysoidea, Shuvuuia and Therizinosauria) and Funkmonk (Coelophysoidea, Shuvuuia, Therizinosauria) from Phylopic, used with permission.
