The extent of morphological diversity is at least as great as that in any other group of living vertebrates.
In Acochlidia, the most diverse group of meiofaunal slugs, the Microhedylacea, shows 'regressive evolution' [ 6], exhibiting highly simplified organ systems and little morphological diversity even at higher taxonomic levels [ 7].
Species contained within the Rosoideae genera exhibit impressive morphological diversity and exist at numerous ploidy levels, and thus, the classification and phylogenetic determination of species within each genus have been the subject of various phylogenetic analyses, with molecular phylogenies presented for Fragaria, Potentilla, Rosa and Rubus.
This subset of taxa was selected based on its morphological diversity and sample availability at the time of the study.
This expansive evolution of species and morphological diversity has been attributed, at least in part, to interactions with animals [ 3, 4] – particularly changes in specialist pollinators that might drive diversification [ 5- 7].
Hybridization between plant species can generate novel morphological diversity and lead to speciation at homoploid or polyploid levels.
In the case of Macrosphenidae, no diagnostic morphological characters that are shared by all its members are known, and in view of the enormous morphological diversity within this clade (which, at least in part, is likely to be shaped by the strongly divergent ecological adaptations among the genera), it is possible that no such characters will ever be found.
