Evidence for cryptic speciation in directly transmitted gyrodactylid parasites of Trinidadian guppies.
Cryptic species complexes are common among parasites, which tend to have large populations and are subject to rapid evolution. Such complexes may arise through host-parasite co-evolution and/or host switching. For parasites that reproduce directly on their host, there might be increased opportunitie...
