Since the analyzed material came from only one site on Crete (Kedros Mountain, Gerakari), it is not possible to further assess the extent of the genetic diversity of X. maritima on this island. More extensive research is needed to determine the barcode lineage status of X. maritima populations worldwide, including in Crete.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DD7F241423FF9CFE5BFD85FDAFF8D3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
