Merging taxonomy to systematics: A holistic approach to understanding the Poecilimon zonatus group (Orthoptera, Phaneropterinae) by Onur Uluar, Dragan P. Chobanov, Battal Çıplak

“…., are described as new species, and P. datca montana subsp. nov. and P. denizliensis kizildagi subsp. nov. as new subspecies, (ii) the common ancestor of species corresponds to Mid Pleistocene Transition, suggesting the major climatic turnovers as the main evolutionary driver, (iii) the isolated relict ancestors on highlands evolved under similar selection pressures leading to a conserved phenotype, consequently, to limited morphological divergence despite their genetic differences; (iv) although morphological diagnosability is poor, each species meets the criteria of several species concepts.…”
