| phylogeography of a subterranean amphipod reveals cryptic diversity and dynamic evolution in extreme environments. | extreme conditions in subsurface are suspected to be responsible for morphological convergences, and so to bias biodiversity assessment. subterranean organisms are also considered as having poor dispersal abilities that in turn generate a large number of endemic species when habitat is fragmented. here we test these general hypotheses using the subterranean amphipod niphargus virei. all our phylogenetic analyses (bayesian, maximum likelihood and distance), based on two independent genes (28s and ... | 2006 | 16689899 |
