Flagellicaudata Apobaramin? Upchurch et al. (2004) No clustering with other taxa (PCA). - Very weakly supported: few taxa included. No rebbachisaurids or Haplocanthosaurus present so unable to say anything about Diplodocoidea or Diplodocimorpha Ornithischia Apobaramin Baron (2018) No clustering with other taxa in PC 3/PC 1 (PCA). Other analyses show evidence for internal discontinuity. - Non-eurypodan Thyreophora Inconclusive - - Analyses show them as discontinuous from Eurypodans, but nothing can be said about their relationships to each other or "basal" ornithischians. Stegosauria Holobaramin Raven and Maidment (2017) No clustering with other taxa (PCA) except some probably flukes (see notes). Other analyses show stegosaurs as not clustering with "basal" thyreophorans or ankylosaurs. Galton and Upchurch (2004a) Members positively correlate (BDC). Members cluster together (MDS). Raven and Maidment (2017) Members cluster along similar trajectory (PCA). Huayangosaurus doesn't positively correlate with other stegosaurs in BDC of Weishampel et al. (2004), but all other analyses show it clustering with stegosaurs. Oddly, in Raven and Maidment (2017) PCA results, Tuojiangosaurus and Paranthodon both overlap with ankylosaur outgroup taxa. We believe this is a fluke due to missing data. BDC and MDS results (Appendix) do not show the same pattern. Ankylosauria Holobaramin? Vickaryous et al. (2004) Negative correlation or no correlation with other taxa (BDC). No clustering with outgroup taxa (MDS/PCA). Zheng et al. (2018) No clustering with other taxa. Vickaryous et al. (2004) Positive correlation within Ankylosauridae and within Nodosauridae (but not between them) (BDC). Continuous series of taxa (MDS/PCA). Zheng et al. (2018) Evidence for continuity is not strong between Ankylosauridae and Nodosauridae, however, Polacanthinae jumps from being closer to one and then closer to the other between the two PCA plots. Alternatively, Ankylosauria may be split into two or three holobaramins. Some results showed evidence in favor of discontinuity between Nodosauridae and Ankylosauridae. However, polacanthines sometimes were closer to ankylosaurids, sometimes to nodosaurids, but were very often right in between them in MDS and PCA. This makes us suspect that Nodosauridae and Ankylosauridae are two monobaramins within a single holobaramin of Ankylosauria. Ornithopoda Apobaramin Norman, Sues et al. (2004) Negative correlation or no correlation with outgroup taxa (BDC). No clustering with outgroup taxa (MDS/PCA). - Heterodontosaurus , as expected, does not cluster with ornithopods. Non-hadrosauriform Iguanodontia Inconclusive Always separated from hadrosauriforms, but most analyses also included Lesothosaurus with evidence of positive correlation. Norman et al. (2004) and Norman (2004) Members positively correlate (BDC). Members cluster together (MDS/PCA). Madzia et al. (2017) Members positively correlate (BDC). Members cluster together (MDS/PCA). Almost certainly multiple holobaramins present. Datasets were focused on higher taxa, which means that all "basal" taxa appeared more similar to each other than they probably are. 454 Doran et al. ◀ Dinosaur baraminology ▶ 2018 ICC
