Moss Cladistic Analysis
Newton et al. (2000)
Strict Consensus of four MPTs (length 4,760, CI=0.366, RI=0.475) found by parsimony analysis of combined morphological and 18S, rps4, trn-L-trn-F, and rbcL sequence data for all taxa. All characters were unordered and weighted equally. Bootstrap percentages (1,000 replacates) shown below branches, decay indices above branches.
I have added bars and abbreviations to indicate the classes (and subclasses of the Bryopsida) as defined by Bock and Goffinet (2000). T= Takakiopsida, S= Sphagnopsida, A= Andreaeopsida, Ab= Andreaeobryopsida, P= Polytrichopsida, D= Diphysciidae, F= Furnariidae, Di= Dicranidae, B= Bryidae.
