Incomplete concerted evolution and reproductive isolation at the rDNA locus uncovers nine cryptic species within <it>Anopheles longirostris </it>from Papua New Guinea

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) genes and transcribed spacers are highly utilized as taxonomic markers in metazoans despite the lack of a cohesive understanding of their evolution. Here we follow the evolution of the rDNA second interna...
