This is the highest level cladogram. It shows only taxa corresponding to "units" in the Palæos: Vertebrates index, plus a few others necessary to avoid showing spurious relationships. The cladograms on the following pages are on a somewhat lower level, corresponding to the "abbreviated cladograms" shown on each page in the individual units. For the a higher level of detail, see the individual unit cladograms, if any.
Taxa in BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS correspond to units in the
main section.
MH is a link to the equivalent page of Mikko
Haaramo's phylogeny archive.
ToL is
a link to the equivalent page of the Tree of Life.
X indicates an extinct taxon.
Quotation marks indicate either a paraphyletic group or an unpublished name.
