What is Molecular systematics and phylogeography in the fairy shrimp Tanymastix stagnalis based on mitochondrial DNA about?

## Abstract Patterns of sequence divergence in about 1 kb of mitochondrial DNA coding for two genes (16s rRNA and cytochrome oxidase I, COI) were analysed in 13 populations of the fairy shrimp __Tanymastix stagnalis__ from Norway, Germany, France, Italy (northern and central Italy plus insular populations from Sardinia and the Tuscan Archipelago) and Spain, and in one presumed population of __Tanymastix stellae__ from Corsica. The latter species was originally known only from a single locality in Sardinia, which has been destroyed by urbanization; the Corsican population was referred to __T. stellae__ by some French authors on the basis of the collection of several cysts from mud. mtDNA data revealed a very low level of genetic divergence between the presumed population of __T. stellae__ and the other __T. stagnalis__ populations included in the study. Our genetic findings do not support the presence of __T. stellae__ in Corsica and are in line with previous SEM studies revealing that all species belonging to the genus __Tanymastix__ produce cysts with identical morphology. The results indicate complex phylogeographic relationships and pronounced genetic differentiation among __T.
