In the marine bryozoan Celleporella hyalina, detailed morphological analyses and mating compatibility tests between the isolates identified by DNA sequence analysis were used to confirm that these groups consisted of more than 10 ecologically distinct species that had been diverging for many million years.
No briozoo mariño Celleporella hyalina, as análises morfolóxicas detalladas e as probas de compatibilidade de apareamento entre illamentos identificados por análise de secuencias de ADN utilizáronse para confirmar que estes grupos constaban de máis de 10 especies ecoloxicamene distintas que diverxeran durante moitos millóns de anos.
