The Iberian Peninsula and south‐western France have been postulated as centres of diversification of a wide variety of endemic earthworm species and genera within the Lumbricidae family. However, the phylogenetic position and identity of some of these endemisms is still uncertain and their phylogeographic patterns totally unknown. In the present study, phylogenetic analyses were carried out with the...
Aim
The study of cosmopolitan earthworms could be even more interesting than that of endemic species in revealing evolutionary processes. Previous research on the cosmopolitan worm Eiseniella tetraedra has indicated some phylogeographic structure among populations, but the factors responsible remain unresolved. We hypothesized that environmental factors and dispersal have shaped the distribution...
