hypotaxy > diplohypotaxy

Preferred term

diplohypotaxy  

Definition

  • Mode of hypotaxy of a taxon that includes two parordinate taxa of just lower rank. In a phylogenetic taxonomic frame, the meaning of this situation is that a simple hypothesis of relationships between these two taxa is adopted, these two parordinate taxa being considered as sister-taxa. Although this interpretation can be challenged by subsequent works, as long as it is not such a taxonomy appears like a ‘‘final’’ one. (Dubois & Raffaëlli 2009)
