Abstract:The distribution of Phalloceros species is generally allopatric and restricted; however, Phalloceros harpagos has a wide distribution and exhibits morphological variation among populations from different Brazilian river basins.

The separation of the Paraná and Paraíba do Sul River basins most likely caused the diversification of the… Show more
