Molecular systematics and patterns of morphological evolution in the Centropagidae (Copepoda: Calanoida) of Argentina

Recent studies have shown the value of complementing standard taxonomy with genetic analyses to reveal cryptic diversity and to aid in the understanding of patterns of evolution. We surveyed variation in the COI mitochondrial gene in members of the three genera of centropagid copepods from the inlan...
