Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Cape sea urchin, Parechinus angulosus, is a widely distributed keystone species that inhabits intertidal and subtidal ecosystems along the South African coastline. Despite its importance as an ecosystem engineer, its phylogenetic placement and mitochondrial genomic (hereafter mitogenome) variation remain poorly understood. In the current study, we present the first complete mitogenome for this...
