| cryptic diversity in european bats. | different species of bat can be morphologically very similar. in order to estimate the amount of cryptic diversity among european bats we screened the intra- and interspecific genetic variation in 26 european vespertilionid bat species. we sequenced the dna of subunit 1 of the mitochondrial protein nadh dehydrogenase (nd1) from several individuals of a species, which were sampled in a variety of geographical regions. a phylogeny based on the mitochondrial (mt) dna data is in good agreement with ... | 2001 | 11522202 |
