dc.description.abstractThe broad aims of this research, following the establishment of a firm taxonomic base for the southern African Notonemouridae, were to investigate species boundaries and to infer phylogenetic relationships in the Aphanicerca capensis Tillyard species complex using morphological, behavioural and molecular data (mtDNA), and to model historical biogeographic patterns and drivers of cladogenesis. Additionalaims included an evaluation of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene as a molecular barcode in the Notonemouridae, a test of the monophyly of the genera, the construction of a phylogeny for the southern African Notonemouridae and the identification of clade synapomorphies.en_ZA
