Abstract excerpt
The 29 species of the Tetrahymena pyriformis complex are morphologically identical while being quite diverse at the molecular level. These species are also diverse relative to other eukaryotes. Phylogenetic relationships within the complex have been difficult to determine, because there are groups of closely related species, as well as individual species, that are highly divergent. We have sequenced portions of...
