• Cryptic species in Iphisa elegans Gray, 1851 (Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae) revealed by hemipenial morphology and molecular data (2012, background): “Cryptic species are detected when one recognizes two or more distinct species previously classified as a single species due to overall morphological similarity that prevents immediate obvious distinction (Bickford et al., 2007; Pfenninger & Schwenk, 2007; Trontelj & Fišer, 2009).”
• Fifteen species in one: deciphering the Brachionus plicatilis species complex (Rotifera, Monogononta) through DNA taxonomy (2017, background): “The revolution brought by efficient DNA sequencing technologies has driven an explosion of studies on biodiversity, unmasking hidden morphological diversity and revealing that cryptic species are common and widespread across all animal phyla (Pfenninger & Schwenk, 2007; Trontelj & Fiser, 2009).”
• Cryptic polychaete diversity: a review (2014, background): “Whether this is a correct prediction or not (Pfenninger & Schwenk 2007; Trontelj & Fiser 2009), there is no doubt that the sea swarms with cryptic species, and they are found in all major taxonomic groups (Knowlton 1993, 2000), polychaetes are no exception.”
• Patterns, processes and vulnerability of Southern Ocean benthos: a decadal leap in knowledge and understanding (2013, background): “…awareness that cryptic and polymorphic species are probably evenly spread across taxonomic groups and habitats (Pfenninger and Schwenk 2007; but see Trontelj and Fiser 2009), would necessitate the investigation of each individual morphologically and genetically (Bucklin et al. 2010) with profound…”
