Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The taxonomy and diversity of chromodorid nudibranchs (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Nudibranchia) are relatively well-studied, although molecular analyses have only been applied to test few species-level groups. Within Chomodorididae, the genus Goniobranchus Pease, 1866 contains many different groups based on external colouration, including the red-reticulate group. Previously, most of the red-reticulate group has been considered as either a single variable species, identified as either Goniobranchus reticulatus Pease, 1866 or Goniobranchus tinctorius (Rüppell & Leuckart, 1828), or as a species complex. In this study, red-reticulate nudibranchs were collected from different locations spanning the Indo-Pacific. From these specimens, DNA data were derived, consisting of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and 16S ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA) sequences. COI data were analysed using a distance-based species delimitation approach (ABGD), and the combined dataset (COI+16S rDNA) was analysed using maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods. The analyses identified five species-level clades, but none of the clades’ morphotypes matched exactly with the original descriptions of G. tinctorius or G. reticulatus. The non-reticulate, spotted species Goniobranchus splendidus (Angas, 1864) falls inside this complex. The existence of multiple species-level clades in the Goniobranchus red-reticulate group suggests this is a group of closely related species, comprising at least five undescribed taxa. |
