Cryptic speciation of hormogastrid earthworms revealed by mitochondrial and nuclear data.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Jul 2010

Novo Marta, Almodóvar Ana, Fernández Rosa, Trigo Dolores, Díaz Cosín Darío J

Abstract excerpt

Species delimitation of earthworms has been difficult to determine with certainty due to their structural simplicity. We sequenced fragments of COI, 16S, t-RNAs and 28S for 202 Hormogastridae individuals from the central Iberian Peninsula and three outgroup taxa. A morphological constancy was found but a high genetic diversity suggests the presence of five cryptic allopatric species. Results showed a pattern of...
