The hypothesis that Testudines are the only extant anapsid amniotes and the sister taxon of diapsid amniotes is corroborated by morphological studies, while the hypothesis that Testudines are diapsid amniotes is corroborated by more recent molecular and morphological studies. In this study, the placement of Testudines is tested using the full length cDNA sequence of the polypeptide hormone precursor proopiomelanocortin (POMC). Because only extant taxa have been used, the hypotheses being tested are limited to the following (1) Testudines as the sister taxon of Archosauria, (2) Testudines included in Archosauria and the sister taxon of Crocodilia, (3) Testudines as the sister taxon of Lepidosauria, (4) Testudines as the sister taxon of Sauria, and (5) Testudines as the sister taxon of a monophyletic Mammalia–Sauria clade. Neither Maximum likelihood, Bayesian, or maximum parsimony analyses are able to falsify the hypothesis of (Archosauria (Lepidosauria, Testudines)) and as such is the preferred inference from the POMC data. Zusammenfassungde Morphologische und molekluargenetische Untersuchungen haben zu verschiedenen Hypothesen über die Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse der Testudines geführt. Die Hypothese, dass Testudines die einzigen noch lebenden anapsiden Amnioten und das Schwestertaxon der diapsiden Amnioten sind, wird durch morphologische Untersuchungen bekräftigt, während neuere morphologische und molekulargenetische Studien eher die Hypothese stützen, dass Testudines diapside Amnioten sind. In dieser Studie untersuchen wir die Stellung der Testudines mittels vollständiger cDNA-Sequenzen des polypeptiden Prohormons Proopiomelanocortin (POMC). Da nur lebende Taxa verwendet werden, können nur folgende Hypothesen getestet werden: 1) Testudines ist das Schwestertaxon der Archosauria, 2) Testudines sind in Archosauria enthalten und somit das Schwestertaxon der Crocodilia, 3) Testudines sind das Schwestertaxon der Lepidosauria, 4) Testudines sind das Schwestertaxon der Sauria und 5) Testudines sind das Schwestertaxon einer monophyletischen Mammalia–Sauria Gruppe. Weder Maximum-Likelihood, Bayesian oder Maximale Parsimony Analysen waren in der Lage, die Hypothese (Archosauria (Lepidosauria, Testudines)) zu falsifizieren, sodass diese die bevorzugte Folgerung aus den POMC Daten darstellt.
