Abstract excerpt
The lack of variability in ITS regions within individuals and within species has been explained as the result of concerted evolution. In fact, many examples of intraindividual variation in the ITS regions have been reported. Here we report evidence of within-individual variation of the ITS1 region in the obligate parthenogenetic species Darwinula stevensoni. We analysed 46 clones obtained from 12 individuals of...
