Abstract excerpt
Despite many studies on the phylogeny of the subgenus Sophophora, its monophyly has not been established, especially in relation to its putative relative, the genus Lordiphosa. We analyzed their phylogenetic relationships using DNA sequence data of two mitochondrial genes (ND2 and COII) and two nuclear genes (Adh and 28SrRNA). In constructing phylogenetic trees, we accounted for the problem of among-taxa...
