Abstract Many recent studies on invertebrates have shown how morphology not always captures the true diversity of taxa, with cryptic speciation often being discussed in this context. Here, we show diversification patterns can be very different two clades closely related earthworms genus Hormogaster stressing risk using nonspecific substitution rate values across taxa. On one hand, elisae species complex, endemic to central Iberian Peninsula, shows morphological stasis. other a clade from NE...
Abstract Aim The genetic diversity and distribution of earthworm species in the Mediterranean Basin has been influenced by their low vagility, as well basin's complex geological climatic history. Within this context, our objective was to evaluate evolutionary history hormogastrid earthworms exploring phylogeny, reconstructing ancestral areas identifying potential vicariance dispersal events. Location Western region, encompassing geographical range family Hormogastridae (four genera, 30...
The taxonomy of earthworms has been riddled by instability, lack systematically useful characters, and lax diagnoses some genera. This led to the use genera such as Allolobophora Eisen, 1874 taxonomic wastebaskets, blurring their evolution biogeographical history. implementation molecular techniques revolutionized systematics genus; however, its species have not previously included in phylogenetic analyses. Thus, markers COI, 16S, ND1, 12S, 28S were sequenced for six endemic including...
Rarely have phylogenetic comparative methods been used to study the correlation between phenotypic traits and environmental variables in invertebrates. With widespread convergence conservativeness of morphological characters earthworms, these could be useful improve our understanding their evolution systematics. One most prominent family Hormogastridae, endemic Mediterranean areas, is multilamellar typhlosole, traditionally thought an adaptation soils poor nutrients. We tested body size soil...
