Genomic and Phenotypic Delimitation of Species in a Temperate Aquatic Biodiversity Hotspot.

Abstract excerpt

Biologists have relied on morphological characteristics to identify, define, and formally describe species for the past 250 years. The advent of phylogenetic species concepts and the introduction of molecular data have spawned new species delimitation methods applicable to a wide range of eukaryotic lineages. However, these approaches heavily emphasize genomic data, often overlooking phenotypic traits. We present...
