Marsupials to oreodonts to desmostylians: an evolutionary series to scale
This is the sort of family lineage
(Fig 1) the large reptile tree (LRT, 2327 taxa) can deliver by adding to-scale images to cladogram results.
This time
we’ll take the descendants of tiny Monodelphis sorex through larger hooved Phenacodus to even larger aquatic Neoparadoxia, a taxon basal to the largest mysticetes in the LRT.
Figure 1. Monodelphis, Phenacodus and Neoparadoxia are members of an evolutionary lineage, here shown to scale.

I hope you find evolution as interesting as I do –
how some parts of interrelated taxa change while other parts remain the same, then vice versa. The software applies cold hard numbers to transitional corners and curves.
In this way the LRT seeks to model actual evolutionary events.
