Cryptic Species in Ecotoxicology [PDF]
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2023 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.

Cryptic animal species are homogeneously distributed among taxa and biogeographical regions [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Cryptic species are two or more distinct but morphologically similar species that were classified as a single species. During the past two decades we observed an exponential growth of publications on cryptic species. Recently published reviews

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.

Genomic analysis reveals a cryptic pangolin species
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 Significance Our results provide consistent and compelling genomic evidence for a previously unrecognized genetic lineage distinct from all the eight currently known pangolin species, justifying its designation as a new pangolin species, which becomes ...

Finding Evolutionary Processes Hidden in Cryptic Species. [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2017 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.

Explanatory essentialism and cryptic species
European Journal for Philosophy of ScienceExplanatory Essentialism (EE) is the view that a property is the essence of a kind because it causally explains the many properties that instances of the kind exhibit.

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 as a window on diversity and conservation.
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2007 The taxonomic challenge posed by cryptic species (two or more distinct species classified as a single species) has been recognized for nearly 300 years, but the advent of relatively inexpensive and rapid DNA sequencing has given biologists a new tool for detecting and differentiating morphologically similar species.

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.
