This is the highest level dendrogram. It shows only taxa corresponding to "units" in the Palaeos: Vertebrates index, plus a few others necessary to avoid showing spurious relationships. The cladograms on the following pages are on a somewhat lower level, corresponding to the "abbreviated dendrograms" shown on each page in the individual units. For the a higher level of detail, see the individual dendrograms, if any.

Taxa in BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS correspond to units in the main section. MH is a link to the equivalent page of Mikko Haaramo's phylogeny archive. 
ToL is a link to the equivalent page of the Tree of Life.
X indicates an extinct taxon.
Quotation marks indicate either a paraphyletic group or an unpublished name.
