Cryptic animal species are homogeneously distributed among taxa and biogeographical regions.

BMC evolutionary biology - 19 Jul 2007

Pfenninger Markus, Schwenk Klaus

Abstract excerpt

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 have demonstrated cryptic species have profound consequences on many biological disciplines. It has been proposed that their distribution is non-random across...
