Phylogenetic and morphological diversification in the ostracod genus Legitimocythere (Trachyleberididae) from the Aleutian Basin

Using molecular and morphological data to study a group of closely related and morphologically very similar deep-sea ostracods from the Aleutian Basin and Bering Sea, insight is provided into the role of environmental and hydrodynamic processes in the evolutionary patterns of deep-sea organisms.
