Fig 19. Parsimony analysis of Ariidae with no topological constraints, all characters equally weighted.

Strict consensus of 1325 MPTs of 981 steps (CI excluding uninformative characters (CI) = 0.3247; Retention index (RI) = 0.8144; Rescaled consistency index (RCI) = 0.2723). Values above branches are bootstrap support values, based on 1,000 pseudoreplicates; values lower than 50 are not shown. Character support for nodes near Qarmoutus can be found in the main text.
