Fig.l4E-H: Cladograms resulting from a constraint analysis examining various alternative hypotheses 

 of ingroup relationships: (E) (not) monachinae, (F) (not) phocinae *, (G) erignathus sister *, and (H) 

 lobodontini. An asterisk indicates a majority rule consensus solution, where, unless otherwise 

 indicated, all nodes were found in 100% of the equally most parsimonious solutions. See also Fig.4 

 and Tab.4.
