Character matrix used in phylogenetic analysis of Crocodylia

Character matrix used by Farke et al. (2014) for phylogenetic analysis of a specimen referred to the alligatoroid <em>Leidyosuchus </em>(RAM 14572, Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology, Claremont, California, USA). The file is in TNT format (Goloboff et al., 2008), with 179 characters and 99 OTUs (operational taxonomic units). The matrix and character list were derived from that published by Brochu et al. (2012), with the additions of RAM 14527, <em>Diplocynodon deponiae</em>, <em>D. elavericus</em>, and <em>D. ungeri</em>. The coding for character 62 was changed from 1 to 0 in <em>Leidyosuchus canadensis</em> (Farke et al., 2014). The matrix was run in TNT 1.1 with the following settings: unordered characters, 1,000 replicates with 1,000 trees saved per replicate, TBR (Tree Bisection Reconnection), and <em>Bernissartia </em>as outgroup. 23,040 most parsimonious trees of 685 steps each were identified. For full methods and results, please see Farke et al. (2014). <strong>Citations</strong><br>Brochu, C. A., D. C. Parris, B. S. Grandstaff, R. K. Denton, and W. B. Gallagher. 2012.

Farke等人（2014）用于系统发育分析的性状矩阵，其研究标本被归入短吻鳄超科类群（alligatoroid）的莱氏鳄属（*Leidyosuchus*）（标本编号RAM 14572，馆藏于美国加利福尼亚州克莱尔蒙特市雷蒙德·M·阿尔夫古生物博物馆）。该文件采用TNT格式（Goloboff等，2008），包含179个性状与99个OTU（操作分类单元，operational taxonomic units）。
本矩阵与性状列表源自Brochu等人（2012）发表的数据集，新增了RAM 14527、德氏双脊鳄（*Diplocynodon deponiae*）、埃维拉双脊鳄（*D. elavericus*）以及昂氏双脊鳄（*D. ungeri*）。
在加拿大莱氏鳄（*Leidyosuchus canadensis*）中，性状62的编码由1修改为0（Farke等，2014）。
本矩阵使用TNT 1.1运行，参数设置如下：性状为无序状态，1000次重复抽样，每次重复保留1000棵树，采用TBR（树二分-重连，Tree Bisection Reconnection）算法，以外类群贝尔尼萨尔特鳄（*Bernissartia*）作为外类群。最终得到23040棵最简约树，每棵树的步长为685。如需完整方法与结果，请参阅Farke等（2014）。<strong>引用文献</strong><br>
