“…In this context, molecular data have led to a paradigm shift: Most of the cryptic species have rendered the distribution ranges of formerly described species from broad (i.e., circum-Antarctic) to small and allopatric (Lörz et al, 2009;Held, 2014). As the timing of many of these divergence events was rather recent in the Plio-or Pleistocene (see Convey et al, 2009 for a review), an influence of the recurrent large-scale glaciations in these periods has been suggested as a main driver fueling the diversity pump, mainly through random genetic drift and lineage sorting in independent glacial refugia (Thatje et al, 2005(Thatje et al, , 2008Allcock and Strugnell, 2012). Prominent signatures of population bottlenecks, in particular for shallow-water organisms, have supported that view (e.g., Janko et al, 2007;Raupach et al, 2010).…”
