Systematics, biogeography and morphological evolution in Entosthodon Schwägr. (Bryopsida, Funariaceae) with a revision of the genus in Africa by Wilding, Nicholas

“…Furthermore, recent work on the Funariaceae suggests that the sporophytes, long used as the main basis for classification and identification in the group, exhibit high levels of homoplasy and that Entosthodon is paraphyletic as currently circumscribed. I further test the monophyly of Entosthodon, and its relationships to other members of the Funarioideae, through phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from four chloroplast regions. …”

Reassessment of species limits and diversification process in the Cape grass genus Ehrharta Thunb by Wootton, Lara

“…Population-level phylogenetic analyses using targeted enrichment sequencing data show that E. rupestris and E. setacea, as currently defined, are polyphyletic, and reveal multiple distinct monophyletic lineages within the Ramosa, Rehmannii and Setacea clades of genus Ehrharta. Analysis of genotyping-by-sequencing and morphological data, together with evidence of sympatry, confirm these lineages to be distinct entities, resulting in 13 to 16 putative new species, of which several can be considered cryptic. …”
