Where are these clades from?
The bottom two cladograms at the end of Subsequent research, derived from Gates et al. (2018) - 10.7717/peerj.5300 - feature positions labelled Hadrosauriformes, Iguanodontidae, Hadrosauroidea and Hadrosauromorpha. However, these clade names are not provided on the original cladograms (Fig. 22). At least some of these clades have also not been defined phylogenetically in the text, so we can't be placing them where they are currently, unless we cite another source. To demonstrate the incongruence, the text underneath Fig. 22 reads "...other early diverging hadrosauroids (Altirhinus, Barilium, Proa, (Bolong + Jinzhousaurus)...when Choyrodon is coded as possessing an antorbital fenestra". However, in our corresponding cladogram, all of these genera are clearly positioned outside Hadrosauroidea. Iguanodontidae is also labelled on the right hand cladogram, yet it appears not to have been mentioned in the text of the paper at all. Iguanodon and Mantellisaurus are called iguanodontians immediately prior to the aforementioned quote (which would relate to the left hand cladogram, anyway), but Iguanodontia does not equal Iguanodontidae. So it's quite clear to me that these clade positions are unsupported by the reference. These are also the most obvious examples that stuck out to me, so it's quite possible that the exact positions of other clades are also not inferable from this paper. Are others also unable to corraborate these positions using that paper, or is there something obvious that's totally flying over my head? Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 11:22, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I didn't write this, but sometimes such info can be found in the supplemental material, if there is any for these papers. FunkMonk (talk) 11:35, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the response. I've checked them, but I don't think there's anything there. A bunch of phylogenetic matrices and a picture. Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 11:46, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Revision history suggests that added the text. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 13:17, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * In hindsight the inclusion of Hadrosauroidea in the first cladogram was very dumb, yes. I just put the clade names where their definitions place them, it did not occur to me that they would need additional references. Hadrosauromorpha needs to stay as it's necessary for collapsing that part of the cladogram.  LittleLazyLass  (Talk | Contributions) 14:42, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
