Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome b (cyt-b) is widely used in molecular phylogenetic studies of vertebrate, but not invertebrate, taxa. To determine whether this situation is an historical accident or reflects the utility of cyt-b, we compared the abilities of cyt-b, COI, and one nuclear ribosomal gene region (D1 of 28S) to recover intergeneric relationships within the tiger moth tribes Ctenuchini and Euchromiini. Additionally, we...
