The complete mitochondrial DNA sequences of two sibling species of lumbricid earthworms, Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826) and Eisenia andrei (Bouché, 1972) (Annelida, Crassiclitellata): comparison of mitogenomes and phylogenetic positioning

Composting earthworms of the genus Eisenia play an important role in soil ecosystems. However, taxonomic classification of this genus, especially the sibling species Eisenia fetida and Eisenia andrei, is complicated because of their morphological similarity. In this study, we assessed the utility of...
