Hallo
Does anybody know something about the genetic status of the two Octopodidae species Eledone and Pareledone?
The "Par-" may suggest a close relationship and I know that according to morphological data they constitute the subfamily Eledoninae (Sweeney & Roper, 2001), but has their relationship ever been verified by genetic studies? Does anybody know whether Eledone is closer related to Pareledone than to other Octopodidae, for example Octopus?
Thanks for helping,
K
