Morphologically cryptic and pseudo-cryptic species pose a challenge to taxonomic
identification and assessments of species diversity and distributions. Such is the case for the …

Poison frogs (Dendrobatidae) are famous for their aposematic species, having a
combination of diverse color patterns and defensive skin toxins, yet most species in this …

Echinoderms are marine water invertebrates that are represented by more than 7000 extant
species, grouped in five classes and showing diverse morphologies (starfish, sea lilies …

The insect superfamily Psylloidea (Hemiptera) includes economically important biocontrol
agents, pests and plant pathogen vectors, for which a rapid and accurate identification is …

Elevational diversity patterns can reflect the responses of biodiversity to climate change
spatially. We investigate the species diversity patterns of green lacewings (an important …

Coral reefs are home to the greatest diversity of marine life, and many species on reefs live
in symbiotic associations. Studying the historical biogeography of symbiotic species is key to …

Groups with morphological stasis are an interesting framework to address putative cryptic
species that may be hidden behind traditional taxonomic treatments, particularly when …

China has 26 species in the tribe Arvicolini. The taxonomic status of these voles remains
controversial despite much effort. Herein, we evaluate the taxonomic position of 22 species …

The putative monophyly and systematic position of Merodon nigritarsis group was assessed
based on morphological and molecular data of the mitochondrial COI and nuclear 28S rRNA …

Accelerating taxonomic knowledge and making accurate species identifications are critically
important given the current biodiversity crisis, particularly in biodiversity hotspots such as M …
