Multilevel fine-scale diversity challenges the 'cryptic species' concept
Abstract 'Cryptic'species are an emerging biological problem that is broadly discussed in the
present study. Recently, a cryptic species definition was suggested for those species which …

Untangling the evolution of soldier beetles (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) and the evaluation of the morphological phylogenetic signal in a soft‐bodied elateroid lineage
This study addresses the long‐standing uncertainty about the internal classification of
soldier beetles (Elateroidea: Cantharidae). Four datasets were compiled and analysed: 66 …
