Resolving species boundaries in Mediterranean Xiphinema (Nematoda: Longidoridae) through multivariate morphometrics and multilocus profiling: four new species and two cryptic complexes
2026-07-24
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>As a major biodiversity hotspot, the Mediterranean Basin provides an ideal setting for advancing our understanding of the diversity patterns of plant-parasitic nematodes. The genus Xiphinema is notably diverse in Mediterranean agroecosystems, yet species delimitation remains challenging due to the presence of cryptic lineages. Here, we address this issue by integrating morphology, morph...
