List of cladograms tested for their correspondence with stratigraphic data. Cladograms are listed alphabetically. For each group, data are listed in order, as follows:
- Group name
- Tree size (number of terminals)
- SRL, Standard range length, the total time represented by known fossil ranges
- MIG, Minimum implied gap or ‘ghost range’
- Gmin, the minimum possible ghost range when cladogram branches are rearranged
- Gmax, the maximum possible ghost range when cladogram branches are rearranged
- RCI, the Relative completeness index (Benton, 1994)
- RCI and GER Sig., significance of the RCI and GER measures
- No. consistent nodes, the number of stratigraphically consistent nodes
- SCI, the Stratigraphic consistency index (Huelsenbeck, 1994)
- SCI Sig., significance of the SCI measure
- GER, the Gap excess ratio (Wills, 1999)
- Range, the broad stratigraphic range of the cladogram
- Reference, the source of the cladogram assessed
