family MARGARITIFERIDAE Henderson, 1929: cladomics
     6 genera, 2 subfamilies

Cladomics Summary

number of species = 16 (46 total)
number of subtaxa (rank: subfamily) = 8
analyzed in 264 cladograms in 150 publications
maximum number of terminals in an analysis = 16 (mean = 3.13, median = 2)
maximum number of subtaxa (subfamily) = 2 (mean = 1.27, median = 1)

Basic Monophyly

number of cladograms that test basic monophyly (i.e., more than 1 included species) = 179
maximum number of included terminals = 16, (mean = 4.13 median = 2)
maximum number of subtaxa (subfamily) = 2 (mean = 1.4, median = 1)
proportion of cladograms that support basic monophyly = 0.96

Rigorous Monophyly

number of cladograms that test rigorous monophyly = 70
(Rigorous monophyly refers to cladograms with terminal species representing more than one subtaxon (subfamily) taxon and at least one rigorous outgroup (family).
maximum number of included terminals = 15 (mean = 5.96, median = 5.5)
maximum number of subtaxa (subfamily) = 2 (mean = 2, median = 2)
proportion of cladograms that support rigorous monophyly = 0.97

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.
