An integrative taxonomic framework for the study of the genus Ciona (Ascidiacea) and description of a new species, Ciona intermedia

“The percentage identity between C. intermedia and other Ciona species, including C. roulei and C. edwardsi, is lower than 94.28% for cox1, 90.14% for x3n1 [“cox2 and cob”] and 91.89% for x2cb [ cox3, trnK, nad1, and two non-coding spacers].”
