Previous cladistic analyses of cyclostome bryozoans, based exclusively on skeletal characters, revealed extensive homoplasy amongst morphological traits. This study presents the first molecular phylogeny for Cyclostomata and confirms the previous findings of homoplasy.engBryozoalsrDNACyclostomataPhylogenyssrDNA18S rRNA28S rRNAjournal article2014-10-24
