Cryptic species conservation: a review. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACTCryptic 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. Only through modern morphometric, genetic, and molecular analyses has the hidden biodiversity of cryptic species complexes been revealed.

Cryptic Species in Ecotoxicology [PDF]
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2023 Abstract The advent of genetic methods has led to the discovery of an increasing number of species that previously could not be distinguished from each other on the basis of morphological characteristics. Even though there has been an exponential growth of publications on cryptic species, such species are rarely considered in ...

Cryptic fungal species unmasked [PDF]
Microbiology 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.

, 2022 Cryptic species are organisms which look identical, but which represent distinct evolutionary lineages. They are an emerging trend in organismal biology across all groups, from flatworms, insects, amphibians, primates, to vascular plants. This book critically evaluates the phenomenon of cryptic species and demonstrates how they can play a valuable role

Cryptic or underworked? Taxonomic revision of the Antistrophus rufus species complex (Cynipoidea, Aulacideini) [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera ResearchCryptic species present challenges across many subdisciplines of biology. Not all “cryptic” species, however, are truly cryptic; many are simply underexplored morphologically.

Finding Evolutionary Processes Hidden in Cryptic Species [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2018 Cryptic species could represent a substantial fraction of biodiversity. However, inconsistent definitions and taxonomic treatment of cryptic species prevent informed estimates of their contribution to biodiversity and impede our understanding of their evolutionary and ecological significance.

Niche partitioning in a sympatric cryptic species complex [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2016 AbstractCompetition theory states that multiple species should not be able to occupy the same niche indefinitely. Morphologically, similar species are expected to be ecologically alike and exhibit little niche differentiation, which makes it difficult to explain the co‐occurrence of cryptic species.

Cryptic Species and Their Evolutionary Significance
, 2019 Cryptic species are detected at an ever‐increasing rate, mainly due to the application of molecular data. While the impact of this hidden diversity on macro‐ecology and conversation biology is widely recognized, its evolutionary significance is rarely.

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.
