Evaluating the Fossil Record with Model Phylogenies
Cladistic relationships can be determined without ideas about stratigraphic completeness; implied gaps might be useful for evaluating stratigraphy.

Evaluating the Fossil Record with Model Phylogenies
Many metrics attempting to quantify sampling make naïve assumptions about the minimum possible gaps!

Tree-based evaluations of the fossil record
• Phylogeny can be estimated independently of stratigraphic distributions– Necessarily implies gaps in the record
• Two basic types of metrics:– Consistency: measures general agreement between
predicted and observed orders of appearance;– Gap: measure the sum of gaps implied by a
phylogeny.

Problem: People often forget that we do not always have gaps!
If taxa have good fossil records, then many trees will have minimum possible gaps of 0.

Using stratigraphic data to assess phylogenies
• Stratocladistics: minimize stratigraphic gaps and homoplasies.
• Confidence Interval Sieving: rejects trees with gaps exceeding 95% confidence intervals (a la Strauss & Sadler 1989).
• Stratolikelihood: determines the probability of stratigraphic distributions given tree and sampling rates.
![Page 22: Evaluating the Fossil Record with Model Phylogenies Cladistic relationships can be determined without ideas about stratigraphic completeness; implied gaps](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/5a4d1b677f8b9ab0599b11ed/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Stratocladistics• First and last stratigraphic occurrences of each
taxon noted.
• A gap through an interval treated as evidence against a phylogeny equal to that of an extra morphological change.
• “Stratigraphic debt” reduced by ancestor-descendant relationships as well as by altering cladistic topology.
• Generates phylogeny, not just a cladogram.

Assumptions of Stratocladistics
• Probability of a character changing comparable to probability of a unit of stratigraphic debt.– (ln P [gap] + ln P[stasis]) ≤ ln P[change]
• Probability of all gaps has the same meaning throughout the tree.
![Page 33: Evaluating the Fossil Record with Model Phylogenies Cladistic relationships can be determined without ideas about stratigraphic completeness; implied gaps](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/5a4d1b677f8b9ab0599b11ed/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Confidence Interval Sieving
• Probability of gaps assessed based on confidence intervals;– Number of sampling opportunities over gap
considered.• If there are no opportunities, then there really
is no gap.– Probability of missing a taxon n times assessed
given the number of finds and the number of possible finds within its range;
– Separate “time scales” used for different geographic / environmental units.
![Page 34: Evaluating the Fossil Record with Model Phylogenies Cladistic relationships can be determined without ideas about stratigraphic completeness; implied gaps](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/5a4d1b677f8b9ab0599b11ed/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Confidence Interval Sieving
• If significant gaps exists between a “younger” sister taxon and an “older” species, then apomorphies will be reversed;– This lengthens the tree and makes it possible for
another tree to be shorter;– The most poorly sampled member of a clade
used to formulate CI for that clade;• If significant gaps exist between sister clades, then
the tree is simply rejected.• Shortest tree with no significant gaps is taken.
![Page 35: Evaluating the Fossil Record with Model Phylogenies Cladistic relationships can be determined without ideas about stratigraphic completeness; implied gaps](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/5a4d1b677f8b9ab0599b11ed/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
“Horizon Scales” for Different sampling realms
• “Height” measures number of sampling opportunities; the “duration” of a time interval can be very different in different sampling realms.
![Page 36: Evaluating the Fossil Record with Model Phylogenies Cladistic relationships can be determined without ideas about stratigraphic completeness; implied gaps](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/5a4d1b677f8b9ab0599b11ed/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Confidence Interval Sieving
• Example of how stratigraphy rejects one phylogeny in favor of another.

Confidence Interval Sieving Assumptions
• Strength of characters uniting a clade ignored;– Gap supported by slowly evolving characters
treated no different than a gap supported by highly homoplastic ones;
– Degree of significance no considered.
• Method simply rejects hypotheses; it does not show how well they predict data.
![Page 40: Evaluating the Fossil Record with Model Phylogenies Cladistic relationships can be determined without ideas about stratigraphic completeness; implied gaps](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/5a4d1b677f8b9ab0599b11ed/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Stratolikelihood
• Exact probability of gaps calculated given sampling opportunities.
• Likelihoods of gaps based on sampling rates within lineages;– Because sampling rate is unknown, the rate and
gap can be maximized;– Shifts in sampling rates within lineages or within
clades taken into account.
• L[ | stratigraphy] x L[ | morphology] = L[ | data]
![Page 41: Evaluating the Fossil Record with Model Phylogenies Cladistic relationships can be determined without ideas about stratigraphic completeness; implied gaps](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/5a4d1b677f8b9ab0599b11ed/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Sampling Rates () of Stratolikelihood
• Given that a taxon is found n=7 times in R=11 horizons, the most likely sampling rate is not 7/11, but instead is 5/9…..
![Page 42: Evaluating the Fossil Record with Model Phylogenies Cladistic relationships can be determined without ideas about stratigraphic completeness; implied gaps](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/5a4d1b677f8b9ab0599b11ed/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Sampling Rates () of Stratolikelihood(assessment from simulations)
• … as n/R chronically overestimates R. This is because we do not know the true duration over which we made those n finds.
![Page 43: Evaluating the Fossil Record with Model Phylogenies Cladistic relationships can be determined without ideas about stratigraphic completeness; implied gaps](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/5a4d1b677f8b9ab0599b11ed/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Use sampling rate () maximizing the probability of a sampling gap AND of the observed finds
• i.e., use n / D (where D is the number of finds over the hypothesized duration).

Finding Variable in Stratolikelihood
• Within lineages, one can test whether differs significantly early or late in a stratigraphic range.

Stratolikelihood
• Like stratocladistics, tree evaluated “equally” by both morphologic and stratigraphic data.
• Like confidence interval sieving, importance of gap depends on the density of sampling and in which sampling realm the gaps should exist.
• Unlike either, it allows different characters to present different levels of evidence against phylogeny.

Using Inferred Ancestors to test Hypotheses about Speciation
Patterns
Hypotheses about different modes of speciation make different predictions about morphotypes distributions.
Observed Ranges

If Anagenesis and Bifurcation predominate, then we expect ancestral morphotypes to
predate derived morphotypes
Note: Phylogenetic & stratigraphic patterns can only be consistent with anagenesis - imperfect sampling means that we cannot rule out co-existence.

If Budding cladogenesis predominates, then we expect ancestral morphotypes to co-
exist with descendant morphotypes.
Note: Within the context of a given cladogram, stratigraphy can reject non-budding relationship between two species!
