New transcriptomes for 15 species bring every major living molluscan group, including Monoplacophora, into sampled matrices; several deep conchiferan nodes differ from other studies.
Smith et al. added transcriptomes for 15 species and sampled all major living molluscan groups, recovering Monoplacophora with Cephalopoda in its principal analyses; that Serialia-rejecting topology conflicts with other matrices and is retained as a study-specific result.
claim:event:all-class-mollusc-phylogenomicsAn all-living-class phylogenomic sample recovers Monoplacophora with Cephalopoda in principal analyses; the result conflicts with other matrices and is not a fossil range or universal consensus.
claim:taxon:monoplacophoraScaphopoda is included in a phylogenomic sample of all major living molluscan classes, but its deep placement varies with matrix and model and does not establish scaphopod origin or fossil endpoints.
