A Framework for Resolving Cryptic Species: A Case Study from the Lizards of the Australian Wet Tropics.

Abstract excerpt

As we collect range-wide genetic data for morphologically-defined species, we increasingly unearth evidence for cryptic diversity. Delimiting this cryptic diversity is challenging, both because the divergences span a continuum and because the lack of overt morphological differentiation suggests divergence has proceeded heterogeneously. Herein, we address these challenges as we diagnose and describe species in...
