Abstract excerpt
The morphological stasis of many freshwater crustaceans has resulted in the prior delineation of cosmopolitan species and has been explained by their capacity for long-distance dispersal.

However, sequence variation of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene indicates that this taxon is...
