Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding (parallel sequencing of DNA/RNA for
identification of whole communities within a targeted group) is revolutionizing the field of …

In the last decade, new methods of estimating global species richness have been developed
and existing ones improved through the use of more appropriate statistical tools and new …

Biodiversity genomics research requires reliable organismal identification, which can be
difficult based on morphology alone. DNA-based identification using DNA barcoding can …

Current approaches to biodiversity conservation are largely based on geographic areas,
ecosystems, ecological communities, and species, with less attention on genetic diversity …

Vocalizations of anuran amphibians have received much attention in studies of behavioral
ecology and physiology, but also provide informative characters for identifying and …

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 …

Cryptic species could represent a substantial fraction of biodiversity. However, inconsistent
definitions and taxonomic treatment of cryptic species prevent informed estimates of their …

The number of species on Earth is one of the most fundamental numbers in science, but one
that remains highly uncertain. Clearly, more species exist than the present number of …

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 …

A decade after environmental scientists integrated high‐throughput sequencing
technologies in their toolbox, the genomics‐based monitoring of anthropogenic impacts on …
