True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (eg Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the
second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 …

DNA barcoding-type studies assemble single-locus data from large samples of individuals
and species, and have provided new kinds of data for evolutionary surveys of diversity. An …

Background Species are considered the fundamental unit in many ecological and
evolutionary analyses, yet accurate, complete, accessible taxonomic frameworks with which …

Background Molecular methods of species delineation are rapidly develo** and widely
considered as fast and efficient means to discover species and face the'taxonomic …

Molecular markers offer a universal source of data for quantifying biodiversity. DNA
barcoding uses a standardized genetic marker and a curated reference database to identify …

Eight years after DNA barcoding was formally proposed on a large scale, CO1 sequences
are rapidly accumulating from around the world. While studies to date have mostly targeted …

The analysis of DNA barcode sequences with varying techniques for cluster recognition
provides an efficient approach for recognizing putative species (operational taxonomic units …

Describing biological diversity is a challenging endeavour, especially for the small, cryptic
animals that make up the meiofauna. The field of DNA taxonomy, ie, the use of DNA to …

The generalized mixed Yule‐coalescent (GMYC) model has become one of the most
popular approaches for species delimitation based on single‐locus data, and it is widely …

Molecular approaches to species delimitation are increasingly used to ascertain the number
of species in a sample prior to taxonomic, ecological or physiological studies. Although …
