- An integrative phylogeography for inferring cryptic speciation in the species complex, an important coral mutualist. Rouzé, Héloïse Knowlton, Nancy Anker, Arthur Hurt, Carla Wirshing, Herman H Van Wormhoudt, Alain Leray, Matthieu We use molecular analyses, color patterns, and records of distribution of mating pairs to reconstruct the global phylogeography of , a complex of cryptic coral-associated snapping shrimp species. Molecular data support the delineation of ancestral clades A, B, and C, and suggest five additional subdivisions within clades A and B. Clades A, B1, B2, and C exhibit color pattern differences and/or evidence of assortative mating, and thus merit species-level recognition. There is no evidence for assortative mating within clades A and B1, with likely reproductive compatibility (i.e., fertile clutches) in areas of sympatry. The clade diversity peaks in the Mariana Islands and the early branching clade C is restricted to the northern periphery of the Central and Western Pacific suggesting a Pacific origin of this group outside of the Coral Triangle. These findings underscore the prevalence of allopatric processes with possible ecological or microallopatric speciation in areas where clades overlap.
