文摘
- •
Mitochondrial and nuclear data reveal that E. cordatum is a complex of species.
- •
Morphology is statistically different between all of these species.
- •
No morphological character out of 21 is diagnostic within the complex.
- •
We suggest that morphological diversity is neutral and reflects genetic diversity.
