The Doto coronata species complex, elongate Dotos, and molecular systematics of Dotidae
This molecular systematic study of the nudibranch family Dotidae encompasses 29 taxa from the North Atlantic and Mediterranean, and 30 from the Indo-Pacific. Mitochondrial genes, 16S, COl, and the nuclear gene, H3, were sequenced for 50 individuals and Bayesian and RAxML concatenated analyses were r...
