Abstract excerpt

Cryptic species complexes-genetically divergent lineages with similar phenotypes may appear cryptic not due to true similarity, but because high within-species morphological variation masks interspecies differences, particularly in heterogeneous environments. This study tests whether such lineages exhibit morphological convergence across similar environmental gradients or context-dependent divergence, challenging...
