genus Quadrula Rafinesque, 1820: cladomics
     5 Recent valid species (9 total species)

Cladomics Summary

number of species = 5 (9 total)
analyzed in 191 cladograms in 115 publications
maximum number of terminals in an analysis = 4 (mean = 1.26, median = 1)

Basic Monophyly

number of cladograms that test basic monophyly (i.e., more than 1 included species) = 35
maximum number of included terminals = 4, (mean = 2.4 median = 2)
proportion of cladograms that support basic monophyly = 0.6

Pairwise Cladogram Clustering

The graphs below depict in two dimensions all pair-wise ingroup distances within the cladome. See the Cladmoics FARQ for more information.
