Can environment predict cryptic diversity? The case of Niphargus inhabiting Western Carpathian groundwater.
In the last decade, several studies have shown that subterranean aquatic habitats harbor cryptic species with restricted geographic ranges, frequently occurring as isolated populations. Previous studies on aquatic subterranean species have implied that habitat heterogeneity can promote speciation an...
