Almost three decades ago Alec Jeffreys published his seminal Nature papers on the use of
minisatellite probes for DNA fingerprinting of humans (Jeffreys and colleagues Nature 1985 …

Species delimitation is fundamental in many areas of biology. Despite its importance, there
is no agreement on criteria for species delimitation mostly due to divergence on the point of …
