genus Lamellidens Simpson, 1900: cladomics
     13 Recent valid species (14 total species)

Cladomics Summary

number of species = 13 (14 total)
analyzed in 47 cladograms in 29 publications
maximum number of terminals in an analysis = 10 (mean = 3.66, median = 2)

Basic Monophyly

number of cladograms that test basic monophyly (i.e., more than 1 included species) = 24
maximum number of included terminals = 10, (mean = 6.21 median = 6)
proportion of cladograms that support basic monophyly = 0.92

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.
