“…These authors not only found many morphologically unrecognized evolutionary lineages within this taxon, but also revealed that several alleged Zospeum species are ambiguously classified products of past taxonomic lumping traditions. However, in light of this past work, consideration of historical designations and recent investigations cannot ignore the fact that conventional molecular genetic methods, on the one hand, have not only solved many taxonomic conundrums in biological systematics, but have, on the other, also confounded the situation by uncovering more complicated patterns of unrecognized genetic variability, which otherwise, may never have been detected (Sauer and Hausdorf 2012, Jörger and Schrödl 2013, Duda et al 2014, for detailed discussion of cryptic speciation see Jörger and Schrödl 2013). Still, and in all due respect of this work, we strive for clarity and understanding of these microgastropods: for accuracy in biodiversity studies, for basic biogeographical investigations and for forming conservation strategies.…”
