The sandfish identity: phylogeographic reconstructions uncover a species complex within the Indo-Pacific distribution of Holothuria (Metriatyla) scabra

Abstract Background Sea cucumbers are a highly diverse, enigmatic, ecologically and economically important group of echinoderms, however understanding of their taxonomy is complicated by cryptic morphology, hidden diversity and the presence of species complexes. The sandfish Holothuria (Metriatyla)...
