Partial 28S rDNA Sequences and the Antiquity of Hydrothermal Vent Endemic Gastropods
Abstract
A molecular phylogenetic investigation of the hypothesized antiquity of the hydrothermal vent endemic Neomphalina (Mollusca; Gastropoda) is reported. Sequences of two domains of the gene encoding for 28S ribosomal RNA were acquired for 3 outgroup and 32 gastropod genera. Use of the likelihood ratio test indicated complex substitution patterns for these domains and taxa, corresponding to a general time-reversible model with among-site rate …
