Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Orthotrichum killiasii is resurrected from the synonymy of Lewinskya speciosa and newly combined in Lewinskya.
- Association A speciation process within O. killiasii is related to the rock type inhabited (silicate vs. carbonate).
- Observation Two subspecies of O. killiasii are recognized: O. killiasii s.s. and O. simonyi.
- Mechanism Incongruence between nuclear and plastid markers in some accessions indicates incomplete lineage sorting and possible gene flow.
- Observation Partial but rare incongruence exists between ITS ribotypes and the morphological manifestation in phenotypes.
