Fig.l5C-D: Cladograms resulting from a parsimony analysis of the inversely weighted data matrix 

 with a selected phocid species deleted: (C) Phoca largha (length = 68,382 steps. CI = 0.458, HI = 

 0.765. RI = 0.629. RC = 0.408) and (D) Lobodon (length = 67.333 steps. CI = 0.461. HI = 0.763. 

 RI = 0.626, RC = 0.410). Unweighted branch lengths presented as accelerated transformation / delayed 

 transformation.
