Biogeography and evolution of South Pacific topshells (Gastropoda, Trochidae) and their trematode parasites
Donald, Kirsten; Kennedy, Martyn; Spencer, HamishWe have used the DNA sequences of Pacific topshells, belonging to the genera Diloma, Melagraphia and Austrocochlea, to ascertain how this group became established over a large area of the Pacific. Phylogenetic analyses of ... -
Using molecular genetics to gain insight into allopatric and sympatric speciation of topshells and their parasitic trematodes
Donald, Kirsten; Spencer, HamishPrevailing theory suggests that many parasite species have evolved in tight congruence with their hosts, with the parasite phylogeny mirroring that of the host. This theory is based largely on studies of host-parasite ...
