Hi all,
I may have sent this directly to Dr. Holtz, but
thought it may be of some interest to other members as well.
I've just read HP Holtz's paper on Tyrants'
Phylogeny and Taxonomy in "Mesozoic Vertebrate Life" and have some questions(not
necessarily directed to the author... answer freely if you feel).I apologyze if
questions like these have already been answered in the past or if they're
of obvious answer.
1)What do the "-"s in front of some character (as
listed in appendix 7.3) mean? (e.g. -83.0 )
2)The Kirtland shale aublyosodontine is said to
show the condition .2 for character n° 59, but in the character list
there's no such state. Should it be 59.1 or is the 3rd condition for character
59 missing in the character list?
3) Could someone enlighten me on character 106
states? just can't visualize them....
thanks in advance
bye
Filippo Calzolari
