Famille Megacalanidae - Planche 4Issued from : J.M. Bradford-Grieve, L. Blanco-Bercial & G.A. Boxshall in Zootaxa, 2017, 4229 (1). [p.160, Fig. 112].
Strict consensus (A), 50% majority-rule (B) trees, of 84 trees, length 102, consistency index (CI) = 0.75, retention index (RI) = 0.90. After one round of successive rewighting (50% majority rule of 12 trees), the topology of tree 1 is same as unweighted 50% majority rule tree (B). The trees are rooted to the outgroup calanus helgolandicus.
After Bradford-Grieve & al. (2014), the phylogenetic hypothesis concerning calanoid coppepod families has the Calanidae as sister to the Megacalanidae.. The exemplar chosen is Calanus helgolandicus because this is one of the taxa used in the outgroup for the genetic analysis to realyse comparison with the cladistic analysis.
Clade number above the line and bootstrap support see author's text.

Among characters with a high consistency index (RC) are several that are recognised by the authors as defining the genera. For example, the terminal setae of Mx2: curled completely on themselves) defines Bathycalanus; outer spines of P1 exopod segments 1-3: present and P1 basis anterodistal hook-like process: present define Megacalanus; proximal inner seta of endopod segment 2 of Mx2: vestigial with oval base defines Bradycalanus; outer distal spines of P1 exopod segments 1 and 2: absent denine Bathycalanus; and a number of characters define the remamed genus Elenacalanus.
In tree B, 1: Megacalanus (Clade 1) is sister to the remaining members of the family. It is united by two unambiguous, unique characters: A1 ancestral segments XIV-XVII with ventral surface with row of teeth and P1 basis with hook-like process. Clade 2 is united by four unique, unambiguous character changes that are uniform in the tree: On Mx1, basal endite 1 with 2 setae and endopod segment 3 lacks seta 7. On Mx2, the endopod setae do not have sparse auxiliary spinules and endopod segment 1 smallest setae are vestigial. Several other characters change unambiguously on a branch, change above the node in the tree, but are uniform outside the branch: an aesthetasc is present on female A1 ancestral segment XXIII. A2 ancestral segment IV seta is short. On Md endopod segment 1 and 2 the surface setae are vestigial. On Mx1, endopod segment 2 has 2 setae. On Mxp endopod segment 3, setae 2 and 3 are reduced in size and on endopod segment 5 iinner seta 2 is reduced in size.
Clade 2 divides into two sister clades - 3 and 4.:
Clade 3 (Bradycalanus) is united by two unique unambiguous characters: Mx2 coxal epipodite seta vestigial and on endopod segment 2 the distal inner seta convex border is naked.
Clade 4 is united by three unambiguous, unique changes uniform: there is a macula cribrosa adjacent to the hair sensillum on ancestral segment V of the female A1; the setae of praecoxal endites 1 and 2 and coxal endite 1 of Mx2 are without sparse auxiliary spinules and there is no outer distal spine on exopod segments 1 and 2 of P1. Two characters that change unambiguously on its branch but are homoplasious in the tree are: on Mx1, absence of the 2 distalmost setae on posteriorsurface and presence of 2 setae on basal endite 2.
Within Clade 4 there are two sister clades (5 and 6) with variable bootstrap support:
Clade 5 (Bathycalanus) is united by two unambiguous, unique changes uniform: the hair sensillum on ancestral segment IV is absent and P1 exopod segment 3 is without a proximal outer spine. One character changes but not outside: anterior head with 2 spines and one character is homoplasious* outside: anterior head is decorated in dorsal view.
Clade 6 (the renamed genus Elenacalanus nom. nov.) is united by eleven unambiguous unique changes uniform: on Md endopod segment 1, the distal and proximal setae are absent; endopod segment 2 both surface setae are absent; on Mx1 endopod segment 3, seta 6 is absent; on Mxp, setae 2, 3 and 4 of endopod segment 3 are absent; seta 3 of endopod segment 4 is absent and inner seta 2 of endopod segment 5 and the outer border seta are both absent. Three other characters are homoplasious* outside and one character that is homoplasious also unite this clade.
Generally the present morphological data set is insufficiebnt to resolve most relationships at the species level. Of course, the necessity of the molecular analysis (See pp. 22-25).
*: Structural resemblance due to parallelism or convergent evolution rather than to common ancestry
