<i>Paramecium bursaria</i>—A Complex of Five Cryptic Species: Mitochondrial DNA <i>COI</i> Haplotype Variation and Biogeographic Distribution

Ciliates are a diverse protistan group and many consist of cryptic species complexes whose members may be restricted to particular biogeographic locations. Mitochondrial genes, characterized by a high resolution for closely related species, were applied to identify new species and to distinguish clo...
