Mitochondrial genome and nuclear ribosomal RNA analysis place Alveonasus lahorensis within the Argasinae and suggest that the genus Alveonasus is paraphyletic by Ben J. Mans, Lidia Chitimia-Dobler, Ronel Pienaar, Minique de Castro, Mehran Khan, Mashal M. Almutairi, Abdulaziz Alouffi, Abid Ali, Ala Tabor

“…The systematic data unambiguously place Alveonasus in the Argasinae and also suggest that Alveonasus may be another paraphyletic genus.…”

Phytophthora: an ancient, historic, biologically and structurally cohesive and evolutionarily successful generic concept in need of preservation by Clive Brasier, Bruno Scanu, David Cooke, Thomas Jung

“…In response to evidence that all downy mildews (DMs) reside phylogenetically within Phytophthora, rendering Phytophthora paraphyletic, a proposal has been made to split the genus into multiple new genera. …”

The inclusion of downy mildews in a multi-locus-dataset and its reanalysis reveals a high degree of paraphyly in Phytophthora by F. Runge, S. Telle, S. Ploch, E. Savory, B. Day, R. Sharma, M. Thines

“…However, the degree to which Phytophthora is paraphyletic and where exactly the downy mildews insert into this genus in relation to other clades could not be inferred with certainty to date. …”

A Review of Necrotauliids from the Triassic/Jurassic of England (Trichoptera: Necrotauliidae) by Richard S. Kelly, Andrew J. Ross, Robert A. Coram

“…The necrotauliids have been considered as a basal family of caddisflies (Trichoptera) or as a paraphyletic assemblage of stem-amphiesmenopterans. Herein a new genus, Austaulius, is erected which includes all Lilstock Formation∖Lower Lias material from England; the previously described species are synonymized with A. furcatus and a new species, A. haustrum, is described from the Dorset Coast, the holotype of which preserves synapomorphic traits of the Trichoptera not previously described suggesting that the family is trichopteran. …”

Contribution to the Molecular Phylogeny of Anthribidae (Coleoptera: Curculioniodea) Inferred from COI Sequences by Ali Nafiz Ekiz, Polen Döngel

“…According to the phylogenetic trees, Anthribinae + Coraginae members together constitute a monophyletic clade, which makes currently recognized Anthribinae paraphyletic and Coraginae polyphyletic. Urodontinae seems to form a monophyletic clade with respect to used COI sequences. …”

Brassicaceous roots as an unexpected diversity hot-spot of helotialean endophytes by Jose G. Maciá-Vicente, Meike Piepenbring, Ondřej Koukol

“…Our results show that Cadophora, as currently circumscribed, is paraphyletic and encompasses a broad spectrum of morphologies and lifestyles. …”

Cadophora species from marine glaciers in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: an example of unsuspected hidden biodiversity by Bingqian Zhang, Xiaoguang Li, Guojie Li, Qi-Ming Wang, Manman Wang

“…With more species involved, the currently circumscribed genus became obviously paraphyletic. All members are clustered into two main clades: one clade mainly includes most of the Cadophora species which have phialidic conidiogenesis and we refer to as ‘Cadophora s. str.’; the remaining Cadophora species have multiform conidiogenesis and are clustered in the second clade, with members of other genera in Ploettnerulaceae interspersed among the subclades. …”

Reclassification of Pterulaceae Corner (Basidiomycota: Agaricales) introducing the ant-associated genus Myrmecopterula gen. nov., Phaeopterula Henn. and the corticioid Radulomyceta... by Caio A. Leal-Dutra, Gareth W. Griffith, Maria Alice Neves, David J. McLaughlin, Esther G. McLaughlin, Lina A. Clasen, Bryn T. M. Dentinger

“…Deflexula is recovered as paraphyletic alongside several Pterula species and Pterulicium, and is sunk into the latter genus. …”

The mitochondrial genome of <i>Dendrobaena tellermanica</i> Perel, 1966 (Annelida: Lumbricidae) and its phylogenetic position by S. V. Shekhovtsov, G. V. Vasiliev, R. Latif, T. V. Poluboyarova, S. E. Peltek, I. B. Rapoport

“…D. schmidti turned out to be paraphyletic with respect to D. tellermanica. Since D. schmidti is known to contain very high genetic diversity, these results may indicate that it may be split into several species.…”

Révision de l’espèce Homo erectus (Dubois, 1893) by Valéry Zeitoun

“…., 1998).The more robust result of the analysis is the onset of a paraphyletic grade for Homo habilis which can be, as proposed by (Stringer, 1986; Groves, 1989; Wood, 1994; Strait et al., 1997) made from several species. …”
