Table 2.
Model choices and region breaks for external morphology regionalization analyses. Models are listed as number of regions detected, followed by the Akaike weight for the model in brackets. Region breaks are only listed for the best model as determined by AIC. Breaks occur following the position listed; For example, in FMNH 162144, the first region includes vertebrae 1–4. Asterisks denote specimens in which the Akaike weight is less than 0.8 for the best model.
