High levels of cryptic species diversity uncovered in Amazonian frogs.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 May 2012

Funk W Chris, Caminer Marcel, Ron Santiago R

Abstract excerpt

One of the greatest challenges for biodiversity conservation is the poor understanding of species diversity. Molecular methods have dramatically improved our ability to uncover cryptic species, but the magnitude of cryptic diversity remains unknown, particularly in diverse tropical regions such as the Amazon Basin. Uncovering cryptic diversity in amphibians is particularly pressing because amphibians are going...
