The genomic revolution has fundamentally changed how we survey biodiversity on earth.
High‐throughput sequencing (“HTS”) platforms now enable the rapid sequencing of DNA …

Abstract Here, we describe Assemble Species by Automatic Partitioning (ASAP), a new
method to build species partitions from single locus sequence alignments (ie, barcode data …

Plant diversity surely determines arthropod diversity, but only moderate correlations
between arthropod and plant species richness had been observed until Basset et …

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

Species are fundamental units in biological research and can be defined on the basis of
various operational criteria. There has been growing use of molecular approaches for …

Understanding patterns and processes in biological diversity is a critical task given current
and rapid environmental change. Such knowledge is even more essential when the taxa …

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 …

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 …

Background Accurate delimitation of plant pathogenic fungi is critical for the establishment of
quarantine regulations, screening for genetic resistance to plant pathogens, and the study of …

DNA-based species delimitation may be compromised by limited sampling effort and
species rarity, including “singleton” representatives of species, which hampers estimates of …
