“…An integrative approach in the characterisation of cryptic species, along with the phylogenetic relationships, should involve the data on ecology, development, and behaviour. Peculiarities in these species traits allow assessing the specificity of ecological niche, that is, differences in ecosystem resource exploitation and serving as a resource for natural enemies, as well as the specificity of mate recognition system and reproductive compatibility in the sexually reproducing cryptic species, including the cases of incompatibility induced by Wolbachia (Firneno et al, 2021; Fišer et al, 2018; Hernández‐Roldán et al, 2016; Kiourtsoglou et al, 2021; Lecocq et al, 2015; Pfingstl et al, 2021; Schlick‐Steiner et al, 2010). Such empirical studies may combine several aspects of speciation and species delimitation (Magoga et al, 2021; Parslow et al, 2020; Pentinsaari et al, 2017; Sabadini et al, 2020), including a focus on cryptic species (Jusoh et al, 2020; Moraes et al, 2021; Zhou et al, 2019).…”
