Unexplored character diversity in onychophora (velvet worms): A comparative study of three peripatid species.
Low character variation among onychophoran species has been an obstacle for taxonomic and phylogenetic studies in the past, however we have identified a number of new and informative characters using morphological, molecular, and chromosomal techniques. Our analyses involved a detailed examination o...
