Abstract excerpt
As Darwinulidae (Ostracoda) are considered to be ancient asexuals with a wide geographical and ecological distribution, they are expected to have accumulated mutations during a long timeframe. However, previous studies on genetic variability suggested a low genetic divergence within the darwinulid species Darwinula stevensoni. Here, overall genotopic diversity of D. stevensoni is estimated with the Random...
