When we mapped host phylogram to virus, virus phylogeny did not always track host phylogeny.
In fact, those protostelids that have been included in phylogenies do not span the breadth of the purported morphological groups of protostelids [2], [8].
The inferred phylogenetic structure within Nephilidae is novel and conflicts with morphological phylogeny and traditional taxonomy.
From the morphological phylogeny, the monotypic M. paranensis is nested between Catoprion and the higher monophyletic clade of Pygopristis, Serrasalmus, and Pygocentrus17 (SI Fig. 1).
The synapomorphies of the androecium, style scar, seed shape, and cotyledons for the family Menispermaceae are supported for morphological phylogeny.
A similar scenario was put forward by Shaw [ 14], again based on a morphological phylogeny.
With morphological phylogeny it matters a lot on how one sees the trait.
The morphological phylogeny hypothesized by Kailola differs substantially from molecular topologies.
The most recent large-scale morphological phylogeny was constructed in 1999 [ 34].
The new morphological phylogeny was significantly unlikely given the Baker et al. (2003) data (P≤ 4E-04, Table 5).
