Aequorea taiwanensis n. sp. (Hydrozoa,Leptomedusae) and mtCOI sequence analysis for the genus Aequorea

Abstract

【中文摘要】 Aequorea taiwanensis,a new hydrozoan species from the Taiwan Strait was described using morphological and molecular characteristics.Both morphological and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I(mtCOI) data supported A.taiwanensis n.sp.as a valid species.Sequence divergence and genetic distance of A.taiwanensis n.sp.,A.papillata and A.conica were analysed based on the mtCOI gene sequences.The mtCOI sequences from these three species of the genus Aequorea showed high variation frequency,with sequence dive... 【英文摘要】 Aequorea taiwanensis,a new hydrozoan species from the Taiwan Strait was described using morphological and molecular characteristics.Both morphological and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I(mtCOI) data supported A.taiwanensis n.sp.as a valid species.Sequence divergence and genetic distance of A.taiwanensis n.sp.,A.papillata and A.conica were analysed based on the mtCOI gene sequences.The mtCOI sequences from these three species of the genus Aequorea showed high variation frequency,with sequence dive..
