Heterogeneity in diagnostic characters across ecoregions: a case study with botrynema (hydrozoa: trachylina: halicreatidae)

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Molecular techniques have played a crucial role in the discovery of cryptic species in marine environments (Moura et_al, 2011; Daglio and Dawson, 2017; Johansson et_al, 2018; Lawley et_al, 2021), where a significant portion of the diversity is thought to be hidden below the morphospecies level (Knowlton, 2000; Bickford et_al, 2007). Although less common, molecular techniques have also aided taxonomists in identifying geographically-delineated phenotypic variants as a single spec ies rathe r than multiple inde pe nde nt lineages (Johannesson et_al, 1993; Hay et_al, 2010; Apolô nio Silva de Oliveira et_al, 2017).
