TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of Australian members of Helicarionidae showed a high degree of compositional heterogeneity and incompatibility of phylogenetic signals, highlighting the importance of testing for the decay of the historical signal prior to the phylogenetics analysis.
TL;DR: The general incompatibility of the area cladograms involving Sundaland taxa suggests that dispersal across barriers has played a major role in the historicalBiogeography of the analysed groups and challenges the hypothesis of vicariance biogeography that the distribution patterns of organisms are largely due to the fragmentation of an ancestral biota.
TL;DR: The molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that Limacoidea and Parmacelloidea, which were at least partly based on characters associated with limacization, are polyphyletic, and that Godwiniinae belong to Gastrodontidae, not Oxychilidae.
