Description
Figure 24. Punnett square showing the topological results within Titanosauria after re-analysis of the original Zaher et al. (2011) data matrix with and without rescored data for Tapuiasaurus and Isisaurus. Tapuiasaurus was fully rescored based on the present study; in addition, cranial data for Isisaurus were added, based on previous study of original materials (see Wilson et al., 2005). Re-analysis including only the rescored Tapuiasaurus data (lower left) yields the same topology as the original matrix, which includes an intact Nemegtosauridae (*; upper left). Re-analysis adding only the new Isisaurus data (upper right) supports the grouping of Tapuiasaurus + Rapetosaurus but does not unequivocally support the monophyly of the three nemegtosaurid taxa (in bold type) because Nemegtosaurus (N) is alternatively placed as the sister group of the Tapuiasaurus + Rapetosaurus clade or Isisaurus. Re-analysis using both new Isisaurus data and rescored Tapuiasaurus data (lower right) disbands the three nemegtosaurid taxa, with Nemegtosaurus (N) positioned more tipward and Tapuiasaurus (T) positioned more stemward.

Abbreviations: Nemegto., Nemegtosaurus; Tapuia., Tapuiasaurus.
