Description
While the notion of species is central to our understanding of biological processes, it has been impossible to arrive at a consensus regarding a single, widely applicable or functional concept. This project provides insight into the progression through the speciation process by a widespread species of freshwater shrimp, Paratya australiensis. Using mate choice experiments and genetic analysis, multiple reproductive barriers were identified indicating strong divergence between two populations. These barriers are consistent with requirements for species separation under various species concepts, providing strong evidence to support taxonomic revision of this cryptic species complex.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
