A Phylogenetic Analysis of the Early Late Ordovician
- Slides: 20
A Phylogenetic Analysis of the Early Late Ordovician Orthograptinae (Graptolithina) Sue Klosterman Dan Goldman Charles Mitchell
Macroevolution n Large scale project on evolutionary trends n Interpretation of trends are dependent on phylogeny n Phylogenetic reconstruction of the Orthograptinae is an essential component
DDO Radiation n Rapid expansion in the Early Late Ordovician, about 458 million years ago n Difficulty in determining evolutionary relationships
Character Analysis Commonly preserved on black shales 3 -D specimens extracted from limestone matrix
Character Examples 56 parsimonyn informative discrete characters Apertural Orientation Colony Width 2 TRD n Thecal Shape 10 continuous characters – measurement data
Tree Analysis Mac. Clade 16 Taxa PAUP Branch & Bound Search RC Index Character Weighting
Outgroup Selection Hustedograptus as primitive outgroup

Individual Clades Orthograptus is a paraphyletic taxon from which Rectograptus, Amplexograptus and Geniculograptus have been derived
Individual Clades Derived orthograptines Orthograptus calcaratus group is the primitive sister group to the rest of the derived orthograptines
Individual Clades A – R – G subclades Orthograptus quadrimucronatus group is the sister group to the Amplexograptus, Rectograptus and Geniculograptus subclades
Individual Clades Rectograptus is the primitive sister group to the Amplexograptus and Geniculograptus sub-clades
Thecal Diversification Thecal diversification from primitive, straight tubes to more complex geniculate thecae for this subclade.

Cladogram Support PTP Test – No permutated cladograms are shorter in length than original cladogram Permutated Original

Future Work Lasiograptids Dicranograptids Orthograptids Start to incorporate the orthograptinae cladogram with DDO fauna and other graptolite groups
