- Observation Calymperes was corroborated as monophyletic.
- Observation Mitthyridium was corroborated as monophyletic.
- Observation Leucobryoid taxa were corroborated as monophyletic.
- Observation Leaf morphology, including leucobryoid characters, is evolutionarily labile in Calymperaceae.
- Observation Syrrhopodon remains polyphyletic.
- Observation Leucophanella was recovered as monophyletic.
- Observation Heliconema was recovered as monophyletic.
- Observation Pseudocalymperes was recovered as monophyletic.

- Association Divergence analyses suggest a Mid to Late Miocene Calymperaceae radiation accompanying tropical forest spread.
- Observation The analyses suggest multiple independent pantropical exchanges in Calymperaceae.
- Observation Strong phylogeographic signal was recovered in Calymperaceae.
- Observation Intercontinental migrations followed by cladogenic events are inferred to have occurred repeatedly from 20 mya in Calymperaceae.
