subfamily GIBBOSULINAE Bogan, Bolotov, Froufe & Lopes-Lima in Lopes-Lima et al., 2018: cladomics
     1 genus

Cladomics Summary

number of species = 4 (4 total)
number of subtaxa (rank: genus) = 1
analyzed in 70 cladograms in 38 publications
maximum number of terminals in an analysis = 3 (mean = 1.3, median = 1)
maximum number of subtaxa (genus) = 1 (mean = 1, median = 1)

Basic Monophyly

number of cladograms that test basic monophyly (i.e., more than 1 included species) = 18
maximum number of included terminals = 3, (mean = 2.17 median = 2)
maximum number of subtaxa (genus) = 1 (mean = 1, median = 1)
proportion of cladograms that support basic monophyly = 0.78

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.
