DNA taxonomy of a neglected animal phylum: an unexpected diversity of tardigrades.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 May 2004

Blaxter Mark, Elsworth Ben, Daub Jennifer

Abstract excerpt

A molecular survey technique was used to investigate the diversity of terrestrial tardigrades from three sites within Scotland. Ribosomal small subunit sequence was used to classify specimens into molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTU). Most MOTU were identified to the generic level using digital voucher photography. Thirty-two MOTU were defined, a surprising abundance given that the documented British...
