Eutagenia is a darkling beetle genus of tiny beetles (~2mm) with high cryptic diversity, distributed in sandy (unstable) vs. compact-soil (stable) habitats across the Eastern Mediterranean. How does habitat stability affect their evolutionary dynamics? Photo: Christodoulos Makris

Check out this exciting new paper that uses sequence capture to study the cryptic diversity of Bd in Japanese Giant Salamanders. This study suggests we may be overlooking Bd diversity by relying on culture-based methods for genetic analyses.

New paper alert!!! 🚨 In this article my former PhD student Anna Penna and I reviewed the current status of galagid taxonomy, phylogenetics, and biogeography, and explored future approaches to elucidate cryptic diversity in these neglected primates rdcu.be/dG80Q

Venturing still further afield from my beetle beginnings, we just published a paper exploring cryptic diversity in some native Appalachian Isopods (primarily the work of my talented postdoc Ernesto):

The Daily Moth 936. Although it hails from coasts/ heaths, our garden attracts 5-10 White-line Darts a year, suggesting a local resident population. Each is a treat, as each looks different. Intriguingly, there may be cryptic diversity within W-LD in Europe. #MuchAdoAboutMothing

A nice example of the cryptic diversity that can exist within 'species'. This is why it's so important that translocations are informed by genetic studies.

For lowkey Locustella lovers: the endemic Taiwan Bush Warbler showing off its full wardrobe of subtle hues. A good example of cryptic diversity – only described as a species in 2000.

You know how annoying it is, when molecular peeps show that there is #cryptic_diversity , but the #taxonomy never gets tidied up? Well, a good news story here with the amazing crinoid Promachocrinus spp complex from #Antarctica . Only took 16 years! publish.csiro.au/IS/IS22057

Cryptic diversity in Andaman coral reef

Doing a little lab work today on cryptic diversity in a supposedly monotypic squid genus and thought I'd pop the lower beak next to an Architeuthis for scale. At left, lower rostral length (LRL) about 3mm for a 225mm ML squid; at right, LRL about 12mm for a 1.8m GSQ.
