DNA barcoding reveals cryptic diversity in Antarctic species of Orchomene sensu lato (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Lysianassoidea)
Recent molecular analyses revealed that several so-called “circum-Antarctic†benthic crustacean species appeared to be a complex of cryptic species with restricted distributions. In this study we used DNA barcoding to detect possible cryptic diversity and to test the circumpolarity of species bel...
