Cryptic species conservation: a review. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocCryptic species are groups of two or more taxa that were previously classified as single nominal species. Being almost morphologically indistinguishable, cryptic species have historically been hard to detect.

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Methodological and biological considerations are intertwined when studying cryptic species. A potentially large component of modern biodiversity, the frequency of cryptic species among taxonomic groups is not well documented.

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2021 A large number of insect-specific viruses (ISVs) have recently been discovered, mostly from hematophagous insect vectors because of their medical importance, but little attention has been paid to important plant virus vectors such as the whitefly Bemisia

Climatic niche comparison across a cryptic species complex [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 According to current molecular evidence, the Chionaspis pinifoliae heterophyllae species complex has been recognized as 10 cryptic species. In this study, we construct potential distribution maps for seven cryptic species based on climatic variables ...

The importance of naming cryptic species and the conservation of endemic subterranean amphipods
Scientific Reports, 2017 Molecular taxonomy often uncovers cryptic species, reminding us that taxonomic incompleteness is even more severe than previous thought. The importance of cryptic species for conservation is poorly understood.

Unveiling mosquito cryptic species and their reproductive isolation
Insect Molecular Biology, 2020 Mosquitoes are major vectors of many infectious pathogens or parasites. Understanding cryptic species and the speciation of disease vectors has important implications for vector management, evolution and host‐pathogen and/or host–parasite interactions ...

A plant virus differentially alters DNA methylation in two cryptic species of a hemipteran vector [PDF]
npj VirusesEpigenetic patterns including DNA methylation are known to vary between distantly related species, but it is not clear how these patterns differ at an intraspecific level.

Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii, the main malaria vector in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, is a complex of at least five cryptic species [PDF]
Communications BiologyMalaria, a tropical disease caused by Plasmodium and transmitted by Anopheles, remains a public health concern in Brazil. While most cases occur in the Amazon, transmission persists in the Atlantic Forest, where Anopheles mosquitoes of the Kerteszia ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Upon advances in sequencing techniques, more and more morphologically identical organisms are identified as cryptic species. Often, mutualistic interactions are proposed as drivers of diversification. Species of the neotropical parabiotic ant association
