Cryptic species in putative ancient asexual darwinulids (Crustacea, Ostracoda).

Cryptic species in putative ancient asexual darwinulids (Crustacea, Ostracoda).

Fully asexually reproducing taxa lack outcrossing. Hence, the classic Biological Species Concept cannot be applied.We used DNA sequences from the mitochondrial COI gene and the nuclear ITS2 region to check species boundaries according to the evolutionary genetic (EG) species concept in five morphosp...
