Using genomics, morphometrics, and environmental niche modeling to test the validity of a narrow-range endemic snail, Patera nantahala (Gastropoda, Polygyridae)
Terrestrial gastropods are among the most imperiled groups of organisms on Earth.Many species have a complex taxonomic history, often including poorly defined subspecies, most of which have not been the focus of modern systematics research.Genomic tools, geometric morphometrics, and environmental niche modeling were used to assess the taxonomic sta
