Non-avian Pygostylia Apobaramin? Foth and Rauhut (2017) Do not cluster with any other taxa (PCA). Foth and Rauhut (2017) Although members are in the same region of space, the clustering pattern is not tight (PCA). Garner et al. (2013) No analyses specifically focused on avialans, so it's hard to say anything other than that pygostylians are distinct from non-avialan dinosaurs. Aves + Limenavis + Iaceornis Apobaramin Foth and Rauhut (2017) Do not cluster with any other taxa (PCA). - Garner et al. (2013) No analyses specifically focused on avians, so we can't say anything about relationships within Aves. However, there are several studies from other researchers looking at avians. Sauropodomorpha Apobaramin? Langer (2004) Negative correlation with other taxa (BDC). No clustering with other taxa (MDS/PCA). Other analyses demonstrate discontinuity among members. - Very weakly supported: few taxa included. Non-sauropod Sauropodomorpha Inconclusive All analyses including non- sauropod sauropodomorphs showed some kind of link to non-sauropodomorph outgroup. Usually non-sauropod sauropodomorphs were on a similar trajectory in PCA and shared positive correlation in BDC, but not in every case. Eoraptor and Guaibasauridae often seem to be discontinuous with other non-sauropod sauropodomorphs. Analyses probably biased by the fact that characters focus on more derived members of clades. If Otero et al. (2016) were broken up by family with outgroups, discontinuity might become obvious. Thecodontosauridae Monobaramin (or possibly Holobaramin) Otero et al. (2016) One PCA plot shows discontinuity surrounding group but other does not. Bronzati (2017) One PCA plot shows discontinuity surrounding group but other does not. Otero et al. (2016) Positive correlation among members (BDC). Members cluster together (PCA). Bronzati (2017) Members cluster together (PCA). Thecodontosauridae is here defined as Thecodontosaurus + Pantydraco . Strong evidence for continuity, weak evidence for discontinuity. Non-sauropod Massopoda Monobaramin (or possibly Holobaramin) Otero et al. (2016) One PCA plot shows discontinuity surrounding group but other does not. Bronzati (2017) One PCA plot shows discontinuity surrounding group but other does not. Otero et al. (2016) Positive correlation among members (BDC). Members cluster together (PCA). Bronzati (2017) Members cluster together (PCA). Strong evidence for continuity, weak evidence for discontinuity surrounding the group. Sarahsaurus does not cluster with the others in PC 1/PC 3 of Otero et al. (2015) PCA. Sauropoda Apobaramin? Upchurch et al. (2004) and Galton and Upchurch (2004a) Negative correlation with other taxa (BDC). Bronzati (2017) No clustering with other taxa (PCA). Other analyses demonstrate discontinuity among members. - Very weakly supported: few taxa included. Otero et al. (2015) BDC results include several "basal" sauropods (e.g., Gongxianosaurus and Antetonitrus ), which show positive correlation with "prosauropods". However, it is probably because of the large number of taxa from different baramins that these correlations appear. Gravisauria Apobaramin Otero et al (2015) Negative correlation with other taxa (BDC). No clustering with other taxa (PCA). Bronzati (2017) Separated from other taxa along PC 1 (PCA). - 453 Doran et al. ◀ Dinosaur baraminology ▶ 2018 ICC
