Deep mtDNA Sequence Divergences and Possible Species Radiation of Whip Spiders (Arachnida, Amblypygi, Phrynidae, <i>Phrynus/Paraphrynus</i>) among Caribbean Oceanic and Cave Islands

Deep mtDNA Sequence Divergences and Possible Species Radiation of Whip Spiders (Arachnida, Amblypygi, Phrynidae, <i>Phrynus/Paraphrynus</i>) among Caribbean Oceanic and Cave Islands

Islands—whether classic oceanic islands or habitat islands such as isolated thermal vents, mountain tops, or caves—often promote the diversification of lineages that colonize them. We examined CO1 mtDNA sequence divergences within the tailless whip spider genus <i>Phrynus</i> Lamarck, 18...
