| starting from crete, a phylogenetic re-analysis of the genus reticulitermes in the mediterranean area. | owing to its peculiar paleogeographic history, crete island is one of the most interesting biodiversity hotspots within the aegean area. we here analyze the lineage diversity of cretan reticulitermes termites obtained on mitochondrial genes (coii and 16s) and nuclear inter-sine loci. the evolutionary pattern here detected shows a high correlation between clade divergence and geological events of the specific geographical area. the new haplotypes identified in crete converge with those of specime ... | 2010 | 20433930 |
