SS-PCR discrimination of cryptic Pseudocalanus spp.
§ Pseudocalanus moultoni and P. newmani are morphologically cryptic but
genetically distinct, differing by 18% in mtCOI sequence.
§ Multiplexed, species-specific PCR (SS-PCR) was used to identify individual
copepods. Reactions were done in 96-well plates, with controls.
§ For the U.S. GLOBEC samples, only adult females were identified.
