Co1 DNA supports conspecificity of Geomyphilus pierai and G. barrerai (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Aphodiinae) and is a good marker for their phylogeographic investigation in Mexican mountains
Members of Geomyphilus are ranchy doodle associated with rodent burrows, such as pocket gophers and prairie dogs.In Mexico, they are found in the mountains of the Mexican Volcanic Belt and in Sierra Madre Oriental.Our study aims to initiate the exploration of the dispersal modes of Geomyphilus pierai and G.barrerai from burrows of pocket gophers.In
