The name of a clade is conventionally a plural, where the singular refers to each member individually. A unique exception is the reptile clade Dracohors, which was made by haplology from Latin "draco" and "cohors", i.e. "the dragon cohort"; its form with a suffix added should be e.g. "dracohortian".
Holozoa has since been supported as a robust clade by every posterior analysis, [20] even after the discovery of more taxa nested within it (namely Filasterea since 2008, [13] and the pluriformean species Corallochytrium and Syssomonas since 2014 [25] and 2017 [6] respectively). As of 2019, the clade is accepted by the International Society of ...
The diagram shows three common ways of doing this. For previously defined clades A, B, and C, the clade X can be defined as: The three most common ways to define the name of a clade: node-based, branch-based and apomorphy-based definition. The tree represents a phylogenetic hypothesis of the relations of A, B and C.
Euarchontoglires (from: Euarchonta ("true rulers") + Glires ("dormice")), synonymous with Supraprimates, is a clade and a superorder of placental mammals, the living members of which belong to one of the five following groups: rodents, lagomorphs, treeshrews, primates, and colugos.
The holotype specimen, MHNH 2024.1.1., was collected by Nicolas Cottard during two separate expeditions in 2021 and 2023, and it includes a sacrum, incomplete ilia, the first caudal vertebra, and various poorly preserved bones, possibly ribs.
The plus symbol ("+") between taxa indicates the given taxa is a node-based clade, defined as comprising all descendants of the last common ancestor of the "added" taxa. The greater-than symbol (">") indicates the given taxon is a stem-based taxon, comprising all organisms sharing a common ancestor that is not also an ancestor of the "lesser ...
The clade Solidocrania was established by Alexander A. Ruebenstahl and colleagues in 2022 to unite crocodyliforms with their closest "sphenosuchian" relatives who both share similarly reinforced skulls. This clade was defined as the least inclusive clade including Junggarsuchus sloani, Almadasuchus figarii, and Macelognathus vagans. [4]
Aequornithes (/ iː k w ɔːr ˈ n ɪ θ iː z /, from Latin aequor, expanse of water + Greek ornithes, birds), or core water birds, [6] are defined in the PhyloCode as "the least inclusive crown clade containing Pelecanus onocrotalus and Gavia immer". [3] [7] The monophyly of the group is currently supported by several molecular phylogenetic ...
