More than 230,000 known species representing 31 metazoan phyla populate the world's
oceans. Perhaps another 1,000,000 or more species remain to be discovered. There is …

DNA barcoding has become a well‐funded, global enterprise since its proposition as a
technique for species identification, delimitation and discovery in 2003. However, the rapid …

Within uncharacterized groups, DNA barcodes, short DNA sequences that are present in a
wide range of species, can be used to assign organisms into species. We propose an …

Abstract Background The megadiverse Neotropical freshwater ichthyofauna is the richest in
the world with approximately 6,000 recognized species. Interestingly, they are distributed …

Research using cytochrome c oxidase barcoding techniques on zoological specimens was
initiated by Hebert et al.[Hebert, PDN, Ratnasingham, S., deWaard, JR, 2003. Barcoding …

This article considers the utility of DNA barcodes for conservation. DNA barcoding is a
molecular tool that uses standardised genetic primers, traditionally the 600-to 800-segments …

Background Decapods are the most recognizable of all crustaceans and comprise a
dominant group of benthic invertebrates of the continental shelf and slope, including many …

DNA barcoding has become a promising means for identifying organisms of all life stages.
Currently, phenetic approaches and tree-building methods have been used to define …

DNA 'barcoding'relies on a short fragment of mitochondrial DNA to infer identification of
specimens. The method depends on genetic diversity being markedly lower within than …

Accurate species delimitations are crucial for ecological and conservation studies,
assessments of biotic diversity, and identifying factors driving diversification. Estimates …
