Genera

A maximum-parsimony analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the 16S mtDNA gene, performed in 2003, has shown that the family Dendrodoridae is paraphyletic.[1] Genera in the family Dendrodorididae presently include:

gollark: Some of them have the same properties as each other, so you can compare them.
gollark: Things can be bad or good independent of whether worse or better things exist.
gollark: My view: You're both wrong. It's perfectly valid and possible to compare developed countries to developing ones in a lot of ways, but it doesn't particularly matter.
gollark: It's not a moderator thing. You can just click the "ping off" switch.
gollark: I will write a more coherent response when at an actual keyboard.
