Two complete mitochondrial genomes of the barnacle Lepas anatifera Linnaeus, 1758 (Scalpellomorpha, Lepadidae) implying the possibility of cryptic speciation
Abstract:The barnacle
Lepas anatifera
Linnaeus, 1758 (Scalpellomorpha, Lepadidae) is a worldwide distributed species. For investigating its genetic diversity in the northwest Pacific, two complete mitochondrial genomes were determined and analyzed. The lengths of the two complete mitogenomes were 15,708 bp and 15,703 bp, respectively. Both of them contained typical 37 genes with an identical order to
