Evaluating topological variability in Neodermata phylogenies using mitochondrial and ribosomal gene markers
The Neodermata is a group of parasitic flatworms that includes the classes Trematoda, Cestoda, and Monogenea. Understanding the phylogenetic relationships within the Neodermata has been a longstanding...
