Multilocus Species Delimitation in a Complex of Morphologically Conserved Trapdoor Spiders (Mygalomorphae, Antrodiaetidae, Aliatypus)
Species are a fundamental unit for biological studies, yet no uniform guidelines exist for
determining species limits in an objective manner. Given the large number of species …
