Charles Darwin had been thinking about evolution since 1836, and accumulating evidence both that it had occurred and that it was caused primarily (but not exclusively, as he was always careful to emphasize) by natural selection. By 1844, he had the preliminary ideas on evolution by nat...

Phylogenetic relationships of the commercial marine shrimp family Penaeidae from Persian Gulf

Phylogenetic relationships among all described species (total of 5 taxa) of the shrimp genus Penaeus, were examined with nucleotide sequence data from portions of mitochondrial gene and cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI). There are twelve commercial shrimp in the Iranian coastal waters. The reconstruction of the evolution phylogeny of these species is crucial in revealing stock identity that ca...
