tribe LANCEOLARIINI Froufe, Lopes-Lima, & Bogan in Lopes-Lima et al., 2017: cladomics
1 genus

Cladomics Summary

number of species = 15 (17 total)
number of subtaxa (rank: genus) = 1
analyzed in 104 cladograms in 63 publications
maximum number of terminals in an analysis = 8 (mean = 2.3, median = 2)
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) = 77
maximum number of included terminals = 8, (mean = 2.75 median = 2)
maximum number of subtaxa (genus) = 1 (mean = 1, median = 1)
proportion of cladograms that support basic monophyly = 0.91

Pairwise Cladogram Clustering
