Short example sentences

Monophyletic groups are typically characterized by shared derived characteristics ( synapomorphies ). (10 words)

Autapomorphies express nothing about relationships among groups; clades are identified (or defined) by synapomorphies (from syn-, "together"). (17 words)

As noted above, a cladogram is the diagrammatic result of a parsimony analysis, which groups taxa on the basis of synapomorphies alone. (22 words)

Longer example sentences

Retention index The retention index (RI) was proposed as an improvement of the CI "for certain applications" citation This metric also purports to measure of the amount of homoplasy, but also measures how well synapomorphies explain the tree. (38 words)

Additionally, several characteristics once thought to be synapomorphies are now known to have appeared before dinosaurs, or were absent in the earliest dinosaurs and independently evolved by different dinosaur groups. (30 words)

States shared between the outgroup and some members of the in-group are symplesiomorphies; states that are present only in a subset of the in-group are synapomorphies. (28 words)

Autapomorphies express nothing about relationships among groups; clades are identified (or defined) by synapomorphies (from syn-, "together").

However, unlike shared innovations (or synapomorphies ), the common retention of archaisms (or symplesiomorphy ) is not considered conclusive evidence of a period of common isolated development.

Monophyletic groups are typically characterized by shared derived characteristics ( synapomorphies ).
