Phenotypic crypticity despite strong phylogenetic divergence: diversification dynamics in a species complex of Arabian Pristurus geckos.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 5 Jun 2026

Abstract excerpt

Absence of phenotypic differentiation can challenge the study of diversification by concealing evolutionary divergence through morphological similarity. Such cryptic species diversity is found particularly often in extreme environments, including arid mountain ranges. In the Hajar Mountains of southeastern Arabia, the Pristurus rupestris species complex comprises divergent lineages with notable phenotypic...
