Cryptic species in time and space: an assessment of cryptic diversity within eight nominal species of Hydrozoa (Cnidaria)
Sampling in multiple localities, coupled with molecular barcoding, has shown that nominal species with wide geographical distribution often harbour local cryptic species in allopatry. Cryptic species in sympatry, however, can be easily missed if they have different seasonality, because they can be i...

description | Sampling in multiple localities, coupled with molecular barcoding, has shown that nominal species with wide geographical distribution often harbour local cryptic species in allopatry. Cryptic species in sympatry, however, can be easily missed if they have different seasonality, because they can be identified only through long-term frequent sampling (i.e. sampling through time of the same species in the same location). This is especially true in planktonic invertebrates that exhibit strong seasonality. By integrating mitochondrial 16S sequences of eight species of Hydrozoa (Cnidaria) collected weekly for a year in one Gulf of Mexico region, with sequences gathered globally, we investigate the presence of cryptic species within a temporal gradient (regionally) and on a spatial (worldwide) scale. We find that eight species of Hydrozoa are composed of 28 cryptic species, with 16 of them appearing in sympatry but with non-overlapping seasonality. The high number of sympatric cryptic species could only be discovered through extensive and prolonged regional sampling efforts. The bi-dimensional cryptic diversity (in time and space) highlighted in this study is essential for understanding processes of evolution, biogeography dispersal in the sea, and for more realistic biodiversity assessments. |
