What are fungal species and how to delineate them?
This is the opening paper in the special issue of Fungal Diversity, which collates the data on
defining species. Defining and recognizing species has long been a controversial issue …

Cryptic species as a window into the paradigm shift of the species concept
C Fišer, CT Robinson, F Malard - Molecular Ecology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The species concept is the cornerstone of biodiversity science, and any paradigm shift in the
delimitation of species affects many research fields. Many biologists now are embracing a …

ASAP: assemble species by automatic partitioning
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 …

Unambiguous identification of fungi: where do we stand and how accurate and precise is fungal DNA barcoding?
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 …

Integrative approaches for species delimitation in Ascomycota
Biodiversity loss from disturbances caused by human activities means that species are
disappearing at an ever increasing rate. The high number of species that have yet to be …

Multi-rate Poisson tree processes for single-locus species delimitation under maximum likelihood and Markov chain Monte Carlo
Motivation In recent years, molecular species delimitation has become a routine approach
for quantifying and classifying biodiversity. Barcoding methods are of particular importance …

Convergence of dominance and neglect in flying insect diversity
Most of arthropod biodiversity is unknown to science. Consequently, it has been unclear
whether insect communities around the world are dominated by the same or different taxa …

Comparison of methods for molecular species delimitation across a range of speciation scenarios
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 …
