The statistical rigor of species delimitation has increased dramatically over the past decade.
Coalescent theory provides powerful models for population genetic inference, and is now …

For almost 30 years, there have been active discussions about the taxonomic impediment
and the challenge this represents to address the current human-induced biodiversity crisis …

Although currently most taxonomists claim to adhere to the concept of 'phylogenetic
taxonomy', in fact most of the zoological classifications currently published are only in part …

Motivation In recent years, molecular species delimitation has become a routine approach
for quantifying and classifying biodiversity. Barcoding methods are of particular importance …

The multispecies coalescent has provided important progress for evolutionary inferences,
including increasing the statistical rigor and objectivity of comparisons among competing …

Species‐level diversity and the underlying mechanisms that lead to the formation of new
species, that is, speciation, have often been confounded with intraspecific diversity and …

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

Studies of evolution at the molecular level have experienced phenomenal growth in the last
few decades, due to rapid accumulation of genetic sequence data, improved computer …

Delimitation of species based exclusively on genetic data has been advocated despite a
critical knowledge gap: how might such approaches fail because they rely on genetic data …

A Bayesian coalescent-based method has recently been proposed to delimit species using
multilocus genetic sequence data. Posterior probabilities of different species delimitation …
