Cryptic species are organisms which look identical, but which
represent distinct evolutionary lineages. They are an emerging
trend in organismal biology across all groups, from flatworms,
insects, amphibians, primates, to vascular plants. This book
critically evaluates the phenomenon of cryptic species and
demonstrates how they can play a valuable role in improving our
understanding of evolution, in particular of morphological stasis.
It also explores how the recognition of cryptic species is
intrinsically linked to the so-called 'species problem', the lack
of a unifying species concept in biology, and suggests alternative
approaches. Bringing together a range of perspectives from
practicing taxonomists, the book presents case studies of cryptic
species across a range of animal and plant groups. It will be an
invaluable text for all biologists interested in species and their
delimitation, definition, and purpose, including undergraduate and
graduate students and researchers.
