Species‐level taxonomy derives from empirical sources (data and techniques) that assess
the existence of spatiotemporal evolutionary lineages via various species “concepts.” These …

A recent revision of the anacondas (Serpentes: Boidae: Eunectes), with the description of a
new species of green anaconda, generated extensive publicity, but also provoked …

Abstract Dusky Salamanders (genus Desmognathus) currently comprise only 22 described,
extant species. However, recent mitochondrial and nuclear estimates indicate the presence …

Species delimitation is a first step for realizing the extent of biodiversity and is relevant for all
downstream applications in biology. The production of large genome-scale datasets for non …

Integrative taxonomy, combining data from multiple axes of biologically relevant variation, is
a major goal of systematics. Ideally, such taxonomies will derive from similarly integrative …

Significant advances have been made in species delimitation and numerous methods can
test precisely defined models of speciation, though the synthesis of phylogeography and …

Many phylogeographic studies on species with large ranges have found genetic–
geographic structure associated with changes in habitat and physical barriers preventing or …

Understanding speciation is one of the cornerstones of biological diversity research.
Currently, speciation is often understood as a continuous process of divergence that …

As DNA sequencing technologies and methods for delimiting species with genomic data
become more accessible and numerous, researchers have more tools than ever to …

We trained a computer vision algorithm to identify 45 species of snakes from photos and
compared its performance to that of humans. Both human and algorithm performance is …
