Morphology, molecules and taxonomy: extreme incongruence in pleurocerids (Gastropoda, Cerithioidea, Pleuroceridae)
Mitochondrial markers have been among the most utilized loci for phylogenetic inference, especially for understudied
invertebrate groups for which we yet lack genomic resources. Mitochondrial genes generally evolve faster than
nuclear genes and have smaller effective population sizes (Funk & Omland 2003), which has contributed to their
popularity in species-level studies. Although the evolution-ary history of any given single locus may not always reflect the evolutionary history of a species, mitochondrial genes are particularly susceptible to gene and species tree incongruence (Maddison 199)
