Allopatric origin of cryptic butterfly species that were discovered feeding on distinct host plants in sympatry.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2009

McBride Carolyn S, van Velzen Robin, Larsen Torben B

Abstract excerpt

Surveys of tropical insects are increasingly uncovering cryptic species - morphologically similar yet reproductively isolated taxa once thought to comprise a single interbreeding entity. The vast majority of such species are described from a single location. This leaves us with little information on geographic range and intraspecific variation and limits our ability to infer the forces responsible for generating...
