Unusual conservation of mitochondrial gene order in Crassostrea oysters: evidence for recent speciation in Asia. [PDF]
Background Oysters are morphologically plastic and hence difficult subjects for taxonomic and evolutionary studies. It is long been suspected, based on the extraordinary species diversity observed, that Asia Pacific is the epicenter of oyster
