Excellent- More about Cryptic Species: Morphological Stasis, Circumscription, and Hidden Diversity
Cryptic species are organisms that look identical but represent distinct evolutionary lineages, an emerging trend in organismal biology. This book critically evaluates their phenomenon and explores their role in understanding evolution, particularly morphological stasis. It also discusses the species problem and presents case studies across animal and plant groups.
Format: Hardback
Length: 350 pages

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Cryptic species are organisms that appear identical but belong to distinct evolutionary lineages. This intriguing trend is observed across various groups, including flatworms, insects, amphibians, primates, and vascular plants. In this comprehensive book, the phenomenon of cryptic species is critically examined, showcasing its potential to enhance our understanding of evolution, particularly in the realm of morphological stasis. The book also delves into the interconnectedness of cryptic species recognition with the species problem, the absence of a unifying species concept in biology, and proposes alternative approaches. Drawing from a diverse range of perspectives, including practicing taxonomists, the book presents case studies of cryptic species across diverse animal and plant groups. This invaluable resource will be of immense value to all biologists interested in species and their delineation, definition, and purpose, including undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and enthusiasts alike.
