Data on Arthropod Trees

List of cladograms tested for their correspondence with stratigraphic data. 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
