Talk:Rhizogoniales

Orthodontiales/Aulacomniales
W. Frey (2009, part 3) recognized the orders Orthodontiales (family Orthodontiaceae) and Aulacomniales (family Aulacomniaceae) as separate from Rhizogoniales. Is this currently accepted and should these pages be created?


 * Pages created citing Bell et al. 2007. - Mbdfar (talk) 20:19, 14 October 2018 (UTC)


 * No, the Frey & Stech classification is today used only by German (and some Polish) publications. Most authors use the Goffinet et al. classification (2009), which broadens the Rhizogoniales to include the Aulacomniaceae and Orthodontiaceae. You've cited Bell et al. as the authority for the split, but his paper predates the Goffinet classification. Angela Newton (who was a co-author on the Bell paper) is a former colleague of mine. She has provided feedback on the Goffinet classification since its publication, and is so credited on the Goffinet classifications web-analog. Again, The Frey & Stech classification is not in current use, the Goffinet classification is, which is the reason that it was adopted as the standard on Wikispecies and is in general use in bryophyte literature. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:06, 6 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Whoops! You can reincorporate or undo/delete those respective pages if you want, whatever you think is best. I appreciate the clarification! - Mbdfar
 * I've made the adjustment on Wikispecies. For the pages here, you could simply move / rename / rewrite the pages to become family pages, since each splinter order contains a single moss family. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:42, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You got it, dude. Thanks for the help. - Mbdfar
