Uncovering cryptic species diversity of a termite community in a West African savanna.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Dec 2011

Hausberger Barbara, Kimpel Dorothea, van Neer Abbo, Korb Judith

Abstract excerpt

To uncover the termite species diversity of a natural African savanna ecosystem, we combined morphological analyses and sequencing of three gene fragments (cytochrome oxidase I, cytochrome oxidase II and 28SrDNA, total length about 2450 bp) to infer putative species from phylogenetic trees. We identified 18 putative species clusters with high support values and which we retrieved consistently. Samples from two...
