- Observation The reconstruction yielded three main Orthotrichoideae clades, two Zygodonteae and one Orthotricheae.
- Observation The authors proposed a new genus, Australoria.
- Observation Pentastichella and Pleurorthotrichum were not supported as separate genera.
- Observation The authors proposed including Pleurorthotrichum in Pentastichella.
- Observation Orthotricheae divided into Orthotrichinae and Lewinskyinae.
- Observation Ulota was polyphyletic.
- Observation The authors proposed a new genus, Atlantichella.
- Observation The Orthotrichoideae tribes split in the Middle Jurassic.
- Observation Orthotrichum and Zygodon probably began diversifying in the Late Cretaceous.
- Observation Most extant Orthotrichoideae genera appeared younger.
- Observation The strongest diversification burst apparently occurred during the Oligocene.
- Observation Most tested generic diagnostic morphological characters were homoplastic.
- Observation Combinations of a few characters could define every genus, although no character was exclusive.
