  1. A = biominerals, B = sclerites, C = cuticle, D = cellular body walls, and E = internal organs. Whole integers indicate numbers of genera belonging to each category (e.g., A, AB, ABE). 1 s, 2 s, 3 s, and 4 s indicate the number of taxa having one character (A, or B, or C, or D, or E), two characters (e.g., AB), three characters (e.g., ABC), and four characters (e.g., ABCE), respectively. The proportions of each type of tissue in all categories (e.g., P(A), P(C)) are calculated. Probabilities of finding internal tissue in association with other structures (e.g., P(E|A)) are calculated as well
