Card 11 / 14:
Evolutionary significant unit
a group of organisms that has undergone significant genetic divergence from other groups of the same species. Identification of ESUs is based on natural history information, range and distribution data, and results from analyses of morphometrics, cytogenetics, allozymes and nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. Concordance of those data, and the indication of significant genetic distance between sympatric groups of organisms, are critical for establishing an ESU.
