Improved taxonomic and gene sampling advance the knowledge of deep relationships within Macrodasyida (Gastrotricha). [PDF]
CladisticsAdvances in Macrodasyida (Gastrotricha) phylogenetics, fuelled by new species discoveries and molecular data, are reshaping taxonomic classifications. Molecular analyses suggest polyphyly in Cephalodasyidae and Macrodasyidae, yet insufficient sampling ...
