What we don't recognize can hurt us: a plea for awareness about cryptic species
GPP de León, SA Nadler - Journal of parasitology, 2010 - meridian.allenpress.com
We conducted an extensive literature review on studies that have used DNA sequences to
detect cryptic species of parasites during the last decade. Each literature citation that …

Morphological constraint obscures richness: a mitochondrial exploration of cryptic richness in Transversotrema (Trematoda: Transversotrematidae)
Abstract Species of Transversotrema Witenberg, 1944 (Transversotrematidae) occupy a
unique ecological niche for the Trematoda, living externally under the scales of their teleost …

A paradigm for the recognition of cryptic trematode species in tropical Indo-west Pacific fishes: the problematic genus Preptetos (Trematoda: Lepocreadiidae)
RA Bray, SC Cutmore, TH Cribb - International Journal for Parasitology, 2022 - Elsevier
Molecular data have transformed approaches to trematode taxonomy by providing objective
evidence for the delineation of species. However, although the data are objective, the …

Uneven distribution of cryptic diversity among higher taxa of parasitic worms
R Poulin - Biology Letters, 2011 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Cryptic species cause problems for estimates of biodiversity. In the case of parasites, cryptic
species also plague efforts to detect potential zoonotic diseases or invasive pathogens. It is …
