On Calling this Group a Clade

The article describes the group as including some basal tetanurans but not all tetanurans which makes Avifilopluma paraphyletic.

Groups based on specific features are pretty much the farthest thing from a clade anyway.

The second sentence in this article basically says: "Unlike most clades, which are clades, this clade is not a clade."

I'm not going to make changes to the article because this could just be a gap in my knowledge, but I think it's worth discussion. ThatChapThere (talk) 12:01, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
