Cryptic matters: overlooked species generate most butterfly beta-diversity
to reproductively interfere between them (Pigot and Tobias 2013). Results for a series of cryptic butterfly species revealed only restricted contact zones on mainland and chequered distributions over narrow (3–10 km) sea straits (Dincă et al. 2011, Dapporto et al. 2012, Sañudo-Restrepo et al. 2013). If chequered distributions are overrepresented among cryptic species, they could encompass a dis...
متن کاملDetermination of effective environmental factors on plants functional diversity and species diversity in Ravar rangelands
The aim of the study was to investigate affecting environmental factors on functional diversity indices and species diversity for the fluctuation of the management according to the ecological conditions in Raver rangeland. To determine the functional attributes of rangeland plants, 12 height points were selected along elevation gradient those were distance between them100 meters. 5 sampling plo...
متن کاملHigh levels of cryptic species diversity uncovered in Amazonian frogs.
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 amph...
متن کاملCryptic diversity in the Antherospora vaillantii complex on Muscari species
The anther smut fungi in the ustilaginomycetous genus Antherospora (Floromycetaceae, Urocystidales) that infect monocots, are currently placed in nine species. Against the background of the generally observed high host specificity in smut fungi, the broad host range reported for some of the species suggests much higher diversity. Antherospora vaillantii s. lato includes anther smuts on differen...
متن کاملCryptic species as a window on diversity and conservation.
The taxonomic challenge posed by cryptic species (two or more distinct species classified as a single species) has been recognized for nearly 300 years, but the advent of relatively inexpensive and rapid DNA sequencing has given biologists a new tool for detecting and differentiating morphologically similar species. Here, we synthesize the literature on cryptic and sibling species and discuss t...
