This is an extension of my PhD thesis looking at taxonomy and distribution of Austrogammarus apmphipod (aka The Dandenong and Sherbrooke amphopods) using DNA barcoding and morphological assessments. So far we only know that the genus contains more species than previously known and the conservation status of all genetic lineages needs reassessment.
