Molecular phylogeny of Candidula (Geomitridae) land snails inferred from mitochondrial and nuclear markers reveals the polyphyly of the genus
Abstract
Seven polymorphic nuclear markers amplified successfully for many Geomitridae and Hygromiidae species. The genus Candidula is polyphyletic within Geomitridae. Molecular species delimitation analyses showed several cryptic species within some groups of Candidula genital anatomy type.
