FIGURE 21. Phylogenetic analysis of Otekaikea huata and the Odontoceti. Top, strict consensus tree of equally weighted analysis 1 with decay index values shown. This figure shows simplified cladograms, with species in the more-diverse families crown-ward of Papahu merged for ease of illustrating. Complete trees are provided in Appendices 7 and 8. Bottom, strict consensus tree of implied weighted analysis 2 with decay index labeled. Synapomorphies for some nodes are: Platanistoidea (sensu lato), Characters 59, 169, 186, 195, 196, 212; Platanistoidea (sensu stricto), Characters 166, 167, 175, 288, 291.
