Abstract excerpt
Understanding ecological divergence of morphologically similar but genetically distinct species - previously considered as a single morphospecies - is of key importance in evolutionary ecology and conservation biology. Despite their morphological similarity, cryptic species may have evolved distinct adaptations. If such ecological divergence is unaccounted for, any predictions about their responses to...
