Abstract excerpt
The amphipod Crangonyx islandicus is a recently discovered species endemic to Iceland. Populations of C. islandicus are highly structured geographically and genetically. The COI and 16S mitochondrial genes confine six monophyletic groups which have diverged for up to 5 million years within Iceland, and may present two cryptic species. To investigate the potential cryptic species status we analyse here the...
