Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Many species resolved as monophyletic, while deeper nodes lacked support.
- Observation Single-locus analyses showed significant conflicts indicating gene flow among related species.
- Observation Sequence data identified likely parentage of several hybrid species.
- Observation Sphagnum wulfianum and S. aongstroemii belong in section Acutifolia.
- Observation S. subtile and S. capillifolium should be synonymized.
- Observation S. capillifolium and S. rubellum each have a monophyletic population core and should remain separate species.
- Observation S. rubellum cannot be separated from S. andersonianum and S. bartlettianum, supporting their merger.
- Observation S. tenerum is highly differentiated from S. capillifolium and should be separate.
- Observation Interspecific mixed ancestry was demonstrated for S. russowii.
- Observation Interspecific mixed ancestry was demonstrated for S. skyense.
- Observation Interspecific mixed ancestry was demonstrated for S. arcticum.
- Observation Interspecific mixed ancestry was demonstrated for S. olafii.
- Observation Interspecific recombination appears common, while most species maintain cohesiveness.
