Taxon A and taxon B are sister groups to each other. Taxa A and B, together with any other extant or extinct descendants of their most recent common ancestor (MRCA), [Note 1] form a monophyletic group, the clade AB. Clade AB and taxon C are also sister groups. Taxa A, B, and C, together with all other descendants of their MRCA form the clade ABC.
Simosuchus was found to be the sister taxon of the Chinese genus Chimaerasuchus in the family Chimaerasuchidae. Like Simosuchus , Chimaerasuchus has a short snout and was probably herbivorous. Both genera were placed outside Notosuchia in the larger clade Gondwanasuchia .
Using the dataset of Andres (2021), [7] Haliskia and Ferrodraco were found in a clade as the sister to the Ornithocheirinae within the Ornithocheiridae. The results of this matrix placed ornithocheirids as the sister taxon to anhangueirds. These results are displayed below in Topology B. [1]
Taxoboxes display the "taxonomic hierarchy". ("Taxon" is a general term for a named group of organisms, such as a subspecies, a species, a family, an order, etc.) The taxonomic hierarchy shows the location of the taxon within a particular classification system; e.g. for a genus, it may show its family, order, etc. up to kingdom.
It had a large skull in comparison to its body, about twice the length of the humerus. It is much larger than modern day rollers and its sister taxon Primobucco, more similar in size and proportion to kingfishers, motmots, and bee-eaters. It had a stout, slightly curved beak, and the upper ridge of the beak curves gradually towards the tip of ...
The initial description of the taxon by Rudbride and Sidor based on the large maxillary caniniform teeth, a preparietal, and traces of large bosses on the skull roof took place in 2006. [1] Initially, using cladistic analysis and stratigraphic distribution Pachydectes was thought to be the sister taxon of Bullacephalus with the two collectively ...
A large-scale study of fossil and living squamates published by Gauthier et al. in 2012 [5] did not find evidence for a particularly close relationship between amphisbaenians and Sineoamphisbaena; in their primary analysis Sineoamphisbaena was found to be the sister taxon of the clade containing snakes, amphisbaenians, the family Dibamidae and ...
Beeston et al. (2024) reviewed the relationships of diamantinasaur specimens in a phylogenetic analysis, and recovered the clade as the sister taxon to the Titanosauria within the Somphospondyli. The Australotitan holotype was found to be most closely related to Diamantinasaurus. Their results are displayed in the cladogram below: [5]
