Five cryptic species in the amazonian catfish Centromochlus existimatus identified based on biogeographic predictions and genetic data.
Accurately quantifying biodiversity is fundamental for both evolutionary theory and conservation strategies. DNA-based studies are exposing high cryptic diversity irrespective of taxonomic group or environmental setting, and increasing the ever-growing estimates of global biodiversity. This has seve...
