Differences in life-histories refute ecological equivalence of cryptic species and provide clues to the origin of bathyal Halomonhystera (Nematoda). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The discovery of morphologically very similar but genetically distinct species complicates a proper understanding of the link between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

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

Current 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 ...

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 ...

Assessing cryptic marine fauna diversity as underwater macrophotography (UMP) objects in Sempu Strait, Indonesia [PDF]
E3S 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.

Cryptic species as a window into the paradigm shift of the species concept [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2018 AbstractThe species concept is the cornerstone of biodiversity science, and any paradigm shift in the delimitation of species affects many research fields. Many biologists now are embracing a new “species” paradigm as separately evolving populations using different delimitation criteria.

Evidence supporting cryptic species within two sessile microinvertebrates, Limnias melicerta and L. ceratophylli (Rotifera, Gnesiotrocha). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Microorganisms, including rotifers, are thought to be capable of long distance dispersal. Therefore, they should show little population genetic structure due to high gene flow.

Cryptic diversity in a fig wasp community—morphologically differentiated species are sympatric but cryptic species are parapatric [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2017 AbstractA key debate in ecology centres on the relative importance of niche and neutral processes in determining patterns of community assembly with particular focus on whether ecologically similar species with similar functional traits are able to coexist.

Genomic resolution of cryptic species diversity in chipmunks [PDF]
Evolution, 2022 ABSTRACT Discovery of cryptic species is essential to understanding the process of speciation and assessing the impacts of anthropogenic stressors. Here, we used genomic data to test for cryptic species diversity within an ecologically well-known radiation of North American rodents, western chipmunks (
