Abstract excerpt
We investigated the intraspecific variation of the spirotrich freshwater ciliate Meseres corlissi at the level of genes (SSrDNA, ITS), morphology (14 characters), and ecophysiology (response to temperature and pH). Five of the eight clonal M. corlissi cultures isolated from five localities on four continents were studied at all levels. The null hypothesis was that geographic distance plays no role: M. corlissi...
