Telychian Bryozoa, Matrix (Bryozoans from the lower Silurian (Telychian) Hanchiatien Formation from southern Chongqing, South China)

Distribution of Telychian bryozoan faunas was compiled according Anstey et al., 2003 (Anstey, R.L., Pachut, J.F., and Tuckey, M.E., 2003, Patterns of bryozoan endemism through the Ordovician-Silurian transition: Paleobiology, v. 29, p. 305–328). This matrix was used for pair-group cluster analysis analysis (Euclidean similarity index) and detrended correspondence analysis (performed with PAST, Hammer, Ø., Harper, D.A.T., and Ryan, P.D., 2001, PAST: Paleontological statistics software package for education and data analysis: Palaeontologia Electronica, v. 4, p. 1–9).
