APPENDIX 3

Apomorphy listing, by cladogram node, for the heuristic analysis that was reweighted by maximum value of the rescaled consistency index (RC). RC ranges between 0.0 and 1.0 and is a (directly) proportional measure of a character’s fit to a tree. Triangles (►) indicate changes occurring in every possible tree reconstruction, whereas arrows (→) indicate changes in this reweighted analysis, and possibly in others, but not in all analyses

Appendix 2 - Summary statistics, heritability, and number of generations for portions of unbranched evolutionary sequences displaying weak anagenesis. Appendix 3 - Rates of evolution, in darwins, calculated in previous studies for 93 taxa of fossil protists and invertebrates

APPENDIX 2

Character states for 127 morphologic characters used in cladistics analysis. Characters, and character states, are defined in Appendix 1. Question marks reflect uncertain character state codes. The genus Goryunovia was utilized as an outgroup

APPENDIX 1

The 127 coded characters used in cladistic analyses of genera assigned to families Monticuliporidae and Mesotrypidae. These characters were cladistically informative (i.e., were synapomorphic) having states shared by in-group genera. This is a partial listing of 267 characters developed from the following sources (R. L. Anstey, personal communication): Anstey (1978), Anstey (1990), Anstey and Pachut 1995 (Appendices A and B), Anstey and Perry (1970, 1973), Blake and Snyder (1987), Corneliussen and Perry (1973), Cuffey and Blake (1991), Hageman (1991), Hickey (1988), Key (1990), McKinney (1977, 2000), Pachut and Anstey (1984), Pachut, Anstey, and Horowitz (1994), Prezbindowski and Anstey (1978), Spearing (1998), Tang and Cuffey (1998), and Taylor and Weedon (2000). Characters that could not be evaluated within a genus were coded using a question mark
