Motivation: Sequence-based methods to delimit species are central to DNA taxonomy,
microbial community surveys and DNA metabarcoding studies. Current approaches either …

We present a complete phylogeny of macroperforate planktonic foraminifer species of the
Cenozoic Era (∼ 65 million years ago to present). The phylogeny is developed from a large …

Genomic data has opened new possibilities to understand how organisms change over
time, and could enable the discovery of previously undescribed species. Although taxonomy …

DNA barcoding-type studies assemble single-locus data from large samples of individuals
and species, and have provided new kinds of data for evolutionary surveys of diversity. An …

In the absence of recent admixture between species, bipartitions of individuals in gene trees
that are shared across loci can potentially be used to infer the presence of two or more …

DNA barcoding is a technique in which species identification is performed by using DNA
sequences from a small fragment of the genome, with the aim of contributing to a wide range …

Phylogenetic trees in insects are frequently dated by applying a “standard” mitochondrial
DNA (mtDNA) clock estimated at 2.3% My− 1, but despite its wide use reliable calibration …

High-throughput DNA sequencing has the potential to accelerate species discovery if it is
able to recognize evolutionary entities from sequence data that are comparable to species …

Given the problems of species delimitation in algae using morphology or sexual
compatibility, molecular data are becoming the standard for delimiting species and testing …

Many recent species delimitation studies rely exclusively on limited analyses of genetic data
analyzed under the multispecies coalescent (MSC) model, and results from these studies …
