The study’s most-parsimonious trees recover sampled Tapiroidea as monophyletic after excluding paraphyletic “isectolophids”, but Bayesian resolution differs; this supports a bounded topology claim rather than a universal membership list or first appearance. This navigation entry is not a phylogeny or a complete taxon dossier.

A missing branch or fossil occurrence does not imply biological absence. Internal nodes are not calibrated divergence estimates.
