==Taxonomy== Formerly included within the now defunct order [[Urticales]], recent molecular studies have resulted in the family's placement within the [[Rosales]] in a clade called the urticalean rosids that also includes [[Ulmaceae]], [[Celtidaceae]], [[Cannabaceae]], and [[Urticaceae]]. ''[[Cecropia]]'', which has variously been placed in the Moraceae, Urticaceae, or their own family, Cecropiaceae, is now included in the Urticaceae.<ref name="Sytsma">{{cite journal |vauthors=Sytsma KJ, Morawetz J, Pires C, Nepokroeff M, Conti E, Zjhra M, Hall JC, Chase MW | year = 2002 | title = Urticalean rosids: Circumscription, rosid ancestry, and phylogenetics based on ''rbcL'', ''trnL''–''F'', and ''ndhF'' sequences | journal = [[American Journal of Botany]] | volume = 89 | issue = 9 | pages = 1531–1546 | url = http://www.bricol.net/research/CICphylog/CICfinalSTUFF/Urtical-rosids.pdf | doi = 10.3732/ajb.89.9.1531 | pmid = 21665755| doi-access = free }}</ref> [[Dioecy]] (having individuals with separate sexes) appears to be the primitive state in Moraceae.<ref name="Datwyler">{{cite journal |vauthors=Datwyler SL, Weiblen G | year = 2004 | title = On the origin of the fig: Phylogenetic relationships of Moraceae from ''ndhF'' sequences | journal = [[American Journal of Botany]] | volume = 91 | issue = 5 | pages = 767–777 | doi = 10.3732/ajb.91.5.767 | pmid = 21653431| doi-access = }}</ref> [[Plant sexuality#Individual plant sexuality|Monoecy]] has evolved independently at least four times within the family. ===Phylogeny=== Modern [[molecular phylogenetics]] suggest these relationships:<ref name="Sytsma"/><ref name="Datwyler"/><ref name="Clement"/><ref name="Zerega">{{cite journal |vauthors=Zerega NJ, Clement WL, Datwyler SL, Weiblen GD | year = 2005 | title = Biogeography and divergence times in the mulberry family (Moraceae) | journal = [[Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution]] | volume = 37 | issue = 2 | pages = 402–416| doi = 10.1016/j.ympev.2005.07.004 | pmid = 16112884| citeseerx = 10.1.1.418.1442 }}</ref> {{Clade| style=line-height:75%; |1={{clade |1=[[Urticaceae]] ([[Outgroup (cladistics)|outgroup]]) |label2=Moraceae |2={{clade |1={{clade |label1=[[Artocarpeae]] <!-- Missing: Hullettia and Treculia. --> |1={{clade |1={{clade |1=''[[Batocarpus]]'' |2=''[[Clarisia]]'' }} |2={{clade |1=''[[Artocarpus]]'' |2={{clade |1=''[[Parartocarpus]]'' |2=''[[Prainea]]'' }} }} }} |label2=[[Moreae]] |2={{clade |1=''[[Sorocea]]'' |2={{clade |1=''[[Bagassa]]'' |2={{clade |1={{clade |1=''[[Milicia (plant)|Milicia]]'' |2=''[[Streblus]]'' }} |2={{clade |1=''[[Morus (plant)|Morus]]'' |2=''[[Trophis]]'' }} }} }} }} }} |2={{clade |label1=[[Maclureae]] |1=''[[Maclura]]'' |2={{clade |label1=[[Dorstenieae]] <!-- Missing: Bosqueiopsis and Scyphosyce. --> |1={{clade |1=''[[Fatoua]]'' |2={{clade |1={{clade |1=''[[Broussonetia]]'' |2=''[[Malaisia]]'' }} |2={{clade |1={{clade |1=''[[Bleekrodea]]'' |2=''[[Sloetia]]'' }} |2=''[[Trilepisium]]'' |3={{clade |1={{clade |1=''[[Utsetela]]'' |2=''[[Dorstenia]]'' }} |2={{clade |1=''[[Brosimum]]'' |2=''[[Trymatococcus]]'' |3=''[[Helianthostylis]]'' }} }} }} }} }} |2={{clade |label1=[[Ficeae]] |1=''[[Ficus]]'' |label2=[[Castilleae]] |2={{clade |label1=Antiaropsineae |1={{clade |1=''[[Sparattosyce]]'' |2=''[[Antiaropsis]]'' }} |label2=Castillineae |2={{clade |1={{clade |1=''[[Antiaris]]'' |2=''[[Mesogyne]]'' }} |2={{clade |1=''[[Naucleopsis]]'' |2={{clade |1=''[[Perebea]]'' |2=''[[Pseudolmedia]]'' |3={{clade |1=''[[Maquira]]'' |2={{clade |1=''[[Helicostylis]]'' |2={{clade |1=''[[Poulsenia]]'' |2=''[[Castilla (plant)|Castilla]]'' }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} ===Tribes and genera=== Moraceae is comprised 48 genera<ref name = powo/> in seven tribes.<ref>Gardner, E.M., Garner, M., Cowan, R., Dodsworth, S., Epitawalage, N., Arifiani, D., Sahromi, Baker, W.J., Forest, F., Maurin, O., Zerega, N.J.C., Monro, A.K. and Hipp, A.
