301 Korn, M., Marrone, F., Perez-Bote, J. L., Machado, M., Cristo, M., Cancela da Fonseca, L. & Hundsdoerfer, A. K. (2006). Sister species within the Triops cancriformis lineage (Crustacea, Notostraca). — Zoologica Scripta , 35 , 301–322. We investigated the phylogenetic relationships among the three presently recognized subspecies of the tadpole shrimp, Triops cancriformis , using mitochondrial 16S and 12S rDNA sequences. Our results indicate that the taxon is divided into two distinct lineages. One lineage is formed of T. c. cancriformis populations and samples from northern Spain that had been classified as T. c. simplex in the most recent literature. The second lineage comprises all pop…
