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.

Discrimination, Crypticity, and Incipient Taxa in Entamoeba [PDF]
, 2012 Persistent difficulties in resolving clear lineages in diverging populations of prokaryotes or unicellular eukaryotes (protistan polyphyletic groups) are challenging the classical species concept.

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.

Genomic analysis reveals a cryptic pangolin species
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 Eight extant species of pangolins are currently recognized. Recent studies found that two mitochondrial haplotypes identified in confiscations in Hong Kong could not be assigned to any known pangolin species, implying the existence of a species. Here, we report that two additional mitochondrial haplotypes identified in independent confiscations from ...

Empirical evidence supporting frequent cryptic speciation in epiphyllous liverworts: a case study of the Cololejeunea lanciloba complex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cryptic species are frequently recovered in plant lineages, and considered an important cause for divergent of morphological disparity and species diversity.

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

Cryptic animal species are homogeneously distributed among taxa and biogeographical regions
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

On the Bennelongia barangaroo lineage (Crustacea, Ostracoda) in Western Australia, with the description of seven new species [PDF]
, 2013 The ostracod genus Bennelongia De Deckker & McKenzie, 1981 is endemic to Australia and New Zealand. Extensive sampling in Western Australia (WA) revealed a high specific and largely undescribed diversity.
