Summary

To increase the number of identified holobaramins, 63 character sets from 61 different groups of animals and plants were examined using baraminic distance correlation and multidimensional scaling. Forty holobaramins and twelve monobaramins were identified. With previously published work, these new groups bring the totals to 49 holobaramins and 57 monobaramins. Newly identified holobaramins include the first arthropod, fern, and annelid holobaramins. The species counts for the 49 holobaramins are log normally distributed, and a complex model of post-Flood diversification that includes exponential growth, exponential changes in carrying capacity, and exponential decay in diversification rate is proposed to account for this. Despite the increased size of the database of holobaramins, it remains unclear what kind of characters should be used to recognize holobaramins. Several of the newly-identified holobaramins will have important implications in other areas of creationist biology, including natural evil and diversification. - Abstract.
