Fig. 37.-Cladogram discovered in the morphology-only and<br />

combined morphology + allozymes data analyses.<br />

bined data set is presented in Figure 40. The boot-<br />

strap analysis and g, values indicate that there is<br />

similar support for tree A with or without the allo-<br />

zyme data.<br />

Reanalysis of the allozyme data set using the poly-<br />

morphic coding and Mabee and Humphries (1 993)<br />

approaches each resulted in different trees than that<br />

estimated using the step matrix approach. However,<br />

the combined analyses always resulted in the same<br />

tree as the morphology data alone, regardless of the<br />

coding approach employed with the allozyme data.<br />

Character support for each stem of the cladogram<br />

discovered in the combined analysis (Fig. 37) is pre-<br />

sented below. A complete listing of apomorphies,<br />

including the autapomorphies of the terminal taxa,<br />

is presented in Appendix 5. Transformations that<br />

are described as "unambiguous" are supported un-<br />

der both ACCTRAN and DELTRAN optimization.<br />

Therefore, when a node is described as "ambigu-<br />

ously" supported by a particular character state<br />

change, this means that the character in question<br />

"Fixed" transformations are those that involve a<br />

change from one fixed state to another (state "a" to<br />

state "y," or vice versa). When a transformation is<br />

not fixed it may be referred to as "polymorphic."<br />

Such transformations involve incomplete changes<br />

(for example from state "a" to state "m") and re-<br />

ceive a reduced weight due to the frequency coding<br />

approach employed. Unambiguous fixed transfor-<br />

mations include those character state changes from<br />

one fixed state to another that are discovered under<br />

both ACCTRAN and DELTRAN optimization.<br />

Stem A (Crotaphytidae) is supported by 1 1 un-<br />

ambiguous transformations. Five of the synapo-<br />

morphies represent fixed character state changes: 4.1<br />

(prefrontals contact jugals), 6.1 (parietal and frontal<br />

strongly overlap the postorbital), 14.1 (jugal-ectop-<br />

terygoid tubercle present), 29.1 (tympanic crest of<br />

the retroarticular process curves posteroventrally),<br />

and 7 1.1 (black oral melanin present, reversed in
