A DNA-based registry for all animal species: the Barcode Index Number (BIN) system
Because many animal species are undescribed, and because the identification of known
species is often difficult, interim taxonomic nomenclature has often been used in biodiversity …

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 …
