“…Vroom et al (1998) inferred the phylogeny of Bryopsidales using morphological and anatomical features. Subsequent studies utilized chloroplast-and nuclear-encoded gene sequences to further characterise the higher-level phylogeny of the order (Lam and Zechman, 2006;Verbruggen et al, 2009a), its families (Kooistra, 2002;Woolcott et al, 2000) and genera (De Clerck et al, 2008;Draisma et al, 2014;Famà et al, 2002;Hillis et al, 1998;Krellwitz et al, 2001;Verbruggen et al, 2009bVerbruggen et al, , 2007. A multi-locus molecular phylogeny of Bryopsidales recovered a well-supported, monophyletic Bryopsidineae (including families Bryopsidaceae, Codiaceae, and Derbesiaceae) and Halimedineae (including families Caulerpaceae, Dichotomosiphonaceae, Halimedaceae, Pseudocodiaceae, Rhipiliaceae, and Udoteaceae) (Verbruggen et al, 2009a).…”
