Doran et al. ◀ Dinosaur baraminology ▶ 2018 ICC 432 Figure 60. Biplot of PCA scores (black) and vectors (gray) for Galton and Upchurch’s (2004b) data matrix for Stegosauria. PC 1 accounts for 67.7% of the variance and PC 2 accounts for 26.1% of the variance. Figure 61. Biplot of PCA scores (black) and vectors (gray) Raven and Maidment’s (2017) complete data matrix for Stegosauria. PC 1 accounts for 40.0% of the variance and PC 2 accounts for 26.6% of the variance. PC 1 separates Stegosauria from outgroups (except ankylosaurs). PC 2 suggests a division within the Stegosauria (taxa ordinating on left vs. center/bottom). Figure 62. Biplot of PCA scores (black) and vectors (gray) Raven and Maidment’s (2017) complete data matrix for Stegosauria. PC 1 accounts for 40.0% of the variance and PC 3 accounts for 16.4% of the variance. PC 3 distinguishes members of Huayangosauridae (top) from the remaining Stegosauria. Figure 63. BDC results for Vickaryous et al.’s (2004) data matrix of Ankylosauria, as calculated by BDISTMDS (relevance cutoff 0.95). Closed squares indicate significant, positive BDC; open circles indicate significant, negative BDC.
