Phylogenomics supports Panpulmonata: Opisthobranch paraphyly and key evolutionary steps in a major radiation of gastropod molluscs
Abstract
Phylogenomic analysis of 102 nuclear protein-coding loci supports Panpulmonata. Opisthobranchia is paraphyletic with respect to pulmonate gastropods. Former "opisthobranch" clade Sacoglossa is sister to Pulmonata. Siphonarioidea, false intertidal limpets with gills, is the basal pulmonate lineage.
