Doran et al. ◀ Dinosaur baraminology ▶ 2018 ICC 423 Figure 33. PCA scores for Zanno’s (2010) complete data matrix for Therizinosauria. PC 1 accounts for 39.6% of the variance and PC 2 accounts for 19.4% of the variance. Therizinosaurids are separated from other maniraptorans along PC 1, towards the right, although the non- therizinosaurid therizinosaurs (blue arrows) and Erlikosaurus overlap with non-therizinosaur taxa. There is overlap between therizinosaurs and other taxa along PC 2. Figure 34. PCA scores for Zanno’s (2010) complete data matrix for Therizinosauria. PC 1 accounts for 39.6% of the variance and PC 3 accounts for 12.9% of the variance. Most therizinosaurs are separated from other maniraptorans along PC 1, towards the right, though with little distinction along PC 3. Figure 35 . BDC results for Weishampel et al.’s (2004) data matrix of Oviraptorosauria, as calculated by BDISTMDS (relevance cutoff 0.8). Closed squares indicate significant, positive BDC; open circles indicate significant, negative BDC. Figure 36 . Three-dimensional classical MDS applied to Weishampel et al.’s (2004) data matrix for Oviraptorosauria. Members of Oviraptorosauria are shown in gray, Velociraptor and Archaeopteryx are in orange, and outgroup and Herrerasaurus are red. Scree plot indicates the first coordinate accounts for the vast majority of variance.
