Fig.25F: 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: (F) postcranial region (32 characters, n = 3 trees, length = 14,883 steps, CI = 0.725, 

 HI = 0.787, RI = 0.777. RC = 0.563). Lengths and goodness-of-fit statistics apply only to the majority 

 rule consensus solution, where all nodes were found in 100% of the equally most parsimonious 

 solutions.
