Abstract excerpt
Among the few crustacean taxa that managed to inhabit terrestrial environments, Oniscidea includes the most successful colonizers in terms of species richness and abundance. However, neither morphological traits nor molecular markers have definitively resolved phylogenetic relationships among major Oniscidea clades or established the monophyly of the taxon. Herein, we employed the highly conserved, nuclear...
