Fig.25C: Consensus solutions (top - strict algorithm; bottom - majority rule algorithm) resulting from 

 a parsimony analysis of the inversely weighted data matrix subdivided according to the region of 

 character origin: (C) palate and ventral side of snout (16 characters, n = 720 trees, length = 7,251 

 steps, CI = 0.718, HI = 0.784, RI = 0.664, RC = 0.477). Lengths and goodness-of-fit statistics apply 

 only to the majority rule consensus solution, where, unless otherwise indicated, all nodes were found 

 in 100% of the equally most parsimonious solutions.
