Here we review the theoretical and empirical approaches in species definition applied to the B. plicatilis complex, we outline the history of the discovery of the complex, and we explore the evidence in support of the currently accepted presence of 15 species. We review the evidence for long distance dispersal and for co occurrence of the species in the complex, including the processes favoring the co occurrence e.g., niche differentiation . We discuss evolutionary explanations for the morphological similarity of the species in the complex. Finally, by reviewing studies on intraspecific population differentiation and mate recognition, we identify putative factors acting on speciation in the complex. Rotifers.
