Figure 2From: Molecular species identification boosts bat diversity Cryptic species diversity in western Palaearctic vespertilionid bats. Number of vespertilionid bat species in the Western Palaearctic according to a morphological, a mtDNA sequencing or an integrative approach. Patterns distinguish genetically not investigated species (grey), morphologically differentiated species with distinct DNA sequences (black), species without a distinct DNA sequences (hatched) and morphologically cryptic species (white).Back to article page
