Cryptic fungal species unmasked [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Australia, 2012
The word cryptic is derived from the Greek adjective kruptós which means hidden. Morphologically indistinguishable species that have been revealed by molecular phylogenetic methods, and 37ultimately only recognised by their DNA sequences, are referred to as cryptic species.

Cryptic species within the rotifer Lecane bulla (Rotifera: Monogononta: Lecanidae) from North America based on molecular species delimitation

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2020
The littoral rotifer Lecane bulla is one of the most eurytopic members of the Lecane genus and is found in a wide variety of water bodies around the world.

How we study cryptic species and their biological implications: A case study from marine shelled gastropods

open access: yesEcology 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.

What lies behind the curtain: Cryptic diversity in helminth parasites of human and veterinary importance

open access: yesCurrent Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2022
Parasite cryptic species are morphologically indistinguishable but genetically distinct organisms, leading to taxa with unclear species boundaries. Speciation mechanisms such as cospeciation, host colonization, taxon pulse, and oscillation may lead to ...

Cryptic species within cryptic moths: new species of Dunama Schaus (Notodontidae, Nystaleinae) in Costa Rica [PDF]

open access: yesZooKeys, 2013
Based on almost 1,700 recently reared and wild-collected specimens, the genus Dunama Schaus (Notodontidae, Nystaelinae) in Costa Rica is reviewed. Eight species are recorded of which seven are newly described: Dunama jessiehillae Chacón, Dunama jessiebarronae Chacón, Dunama janewaldronae Chacón, Dunama jessiebancroftae Chacón, Dunama janecoxae Chacón ...

Climatic niche comparison across a cryptic species complex [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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 ...

Assessing cryptic marine fauna diversity as underwater macrophotography (UMP) objects in Sempu Strait, Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Cryptic marine fauna refers to organisms that live inside habitats that hidden from direct exposure to their outer environment. Its cryptic nature made these animals rarely observed, and hence understudied.

Neural basis of acoustic species recognition in a cryptic species complex [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2021
ABSTRACT Sexual traits that promote species recognition are important drivers of reproductive isolation, especially among closely related species. Identifying neural processes that shape species differences in recognition is crucial for understanding the causal mechanisms of reproductive isolation.

Ciidae of Michigan (Insecta: Coleoptera) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The family Ciidae Leach, 1819, occurs worldwide with approximately 720 species. In the United States there are 84 species in 13 genera. Given their relatively small size (~0.5 to 6 mm) and cryptic habitats, feeding in decaying fungi, recent regional ...

Cryptic species diversity in polypores: the Skeletocutis nivea species complex [PDF]

open access: yesMycoKeys, 2018
We propose a taxonomic revision of the two closely related white-rot polypore species,Skeletocutisnivea(Jungh.) Jean Keller andS.ochroalbaNiemelä (Incrustoporiaceae, Basidiomycota), based on phylogenetic analyses of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and translation elongation factor EF-1α sequences.
