Abstract excerpt
Prior attempts to resolve the phylogenetic relationships of the cosmopolitan, marine clitellate genus Tubificoides, using only morphology, resulted in unresolved trees. In this study, three mitochondrial and three nuclear loci (5912 aligned sites) were analyzed, representing 14 morphologically separate species. Genetic distances within and between these forms on the basis of the mitochondrial genes (COI, 16S and...
