About this document

Phylogeny of Halobates Sea Skaters by oséias martins magalhães is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document presents a study examining the phylogenetic relationships among sea skaters (Halobates) using molecular and morphological data. DNA sequences from the mitochondrial gene COI were analyzed for 19 Halobates species and related genera. Morphological characters were also examined. Separate analyses of the molecular and morphological data provided some resolution but support was weak. Combined analysis of both data sets produced a better resolved tree with stronger support, allowing for a more rigo
