There are a variety of current higher-level classification schemes for red algae (Saunders and Hommersand 2004; Yoon et al. 2006; Guiry and Guiry 2011).
Thus, our findings may have a substantial impact on higher-level classification of acariform mites and indicate that using endeostigmatans may greatly improve the accuracy of time estimations on fossil-calibrated phylogenies.
The distinction of major groups followed the commonly accepted higher-level classification of eukaryotes [22] modified according to a phylogenomic study [23].
Based on the trees obtained, we evaluate the current higher-level classification of the Rogadinae.
Over the past two decades, DNA sequence data has brought additional resolution to the higher-level classification.
As mentioned previously, anomurans have undergone dramatic changes in higher-level classification based on recent phylogenetic studies.
Here, we investigate the phylogenetic history of the Rogadinae, revise their higher-level classification and assess the evolution of their host ranges and mummy types.
These studies have dramatically increased our understanding of anomuran relationships and resulted in several major changes within higher-level classification [ 17, 18, 27].
Our results do, however, provide good evidence that there is indeed phylogenetic signal of an underlying species-level tree with many shared relationships across analytical methods, and this tree contrasts strongly with the existing higher-level classification scheme of the group that was based on less robust inferences methods.
Hibbett, D. S. et al. A higher-level phylogenetic classification of the Fungi.
Although RDP was marginally better than SILVA and Greengenes, it did not perform well for higher-level classifications, with 9% of the OTUs not classified to a phylum.
