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 |
Runcinida is a small heterobranch order of sea slugs with 61 known species distributed worldwide across temperate and tropical latitudes with two established families (Ilbiidae and Runcinidae). Little is known about the phylogenetic relationships within Runcinida. Here, we present the first molecular phylogeny of the order with an emphasis on European species and we discuss the taxonomic status of the type species Runcina coronata. Molecular phylogenetics based on the mitochondrial genes cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 16S rRNA and nuclear gene histone H3 is used to investigate relationships between species. Detailed morpho-anatomical worked was additionally employed to study Runcina coronata. Our results suggest the monophyly of Runcinida and showed that Runcina coronata is a complex of four species, namely: R. coronata proper, R. aurata and two new species here formally described (R. caletensis sp. nov. and R. tingensis sp. nov.). |
