Extended Data Fig. 10 | Results of analysis using a priori weights and the
unsimplif ied cladogram depicting the results of the phylogenetic analysis.
For further discussion, see Supplementary Information. a, A priori weighting
results in a polytomy consisting of all taxa more derived than Archaeopteryx.
b, Results of the analysis using implied weighting with a k value of 16; results
were the same for k values of 12–20 and of 25; k values between 2 and 11
differed only from higher k values in the relative placement of some derived
enantiornithines. Here Nanantius valifanovi is considered a junior synonym of
Gobipteryx minuta (thus the operational taxonomic unit name is given as
‘Gobipteryx_N_valifanovi’).
