By analyzing sequence variation in the COI gene, we aimed to explore the species diversity and distribution of copepods among these populations. Based on the haplotype network, seven out of 12 species detected through analysis of the COI gene occurred at more than one locality in Nigeria (Fig. 1b) . Through analysis of COI sequence variation, we explored the species diversity and distribution of copepods within the family Cyclopidae for 15 Nigerian freshwater ecosystems, the first such study for West Africa. Our results suggested a high species diversity of Cyclopidae copepods over a small geographic sampling range. ./cache/cord-010149-zupx8qn1.txt ./txt/cord-010149-zupx8qn1.txt
