11. The monophyly of these unities appears to be weakly justified. 12. Monophyly of the family is supported by several studies.13. Molecular phylogenetic analysis confirmed the monophyly of the family and its three subfamilies: 14. Most molecular and genetic research, however, confirms the monophyly of rodents. 15. However, a strictly molecular analysis did not support the monophyly of Dromopoda. 16. Monophyly is contrasted with paraphyly and polyphyly, as shown in the second diagram.17. The monophyly of the subclass Anomalodesmata is disputed. 18. Evidence for monophyly of Alooideae is based on distinctive karyotype and characteristic leaf morphology. 19. Phylogenetic research supports the monophyly of the subfamily. 20. The monophyly of Trichomycteridae is well-supported.
