Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial DNA phylogeographical structure of the freshwater atyid shrimp Neocaridina denticulata denticulata was investigated near the Yura and Kako Rivers in western Japan. To assess the biological significance of drainage evolution, fragments of 390 base pairs (bp) extending from the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 gene to the tryptophan transfer RNA gene were sequenced for 246 specimens from twenty...
