Identifying the unidentifiable: A PCR multiplex protocol for the diagnosis of invasive pheretimoid earthworm species, verified by morphological and barcode identification

2021-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Identification of taxa that are morphologically very similar is a standing problem in ecology and is particularly important for invasive species that may differ in their dispersal rates and environmental and economic costs. Three similar pheretimoid earthworms (genera of Amynthas, Metaphire) are important invasive species in North American forests. They often lack the diagnostic morphological characters and their...
