The herring, Clupea, enters the LRT, but not with traditional Clupeiformes
The extant herring,
Clupea (Fig. 1) enters the large reptile tree (LRT, 1823+ taxa) today, but not with the other traditional member of the Clupeiformes.
Notelops sp. (Woodward 1901; Forey 1977; 60cm) nests with tiny Santanichthys at the base of the Perciformes in the LRT, suggesting an adult/juvenile relationship heretofore overlooked.
PS
Clupea looks like your standard, plesiomorphic fish. It is. Don’t omit such taxa from your cladograms just because they are not weird, scary or gigantic. Here and elsewhere the plain and small taxa are important, too.
