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 …

Species delimitation with gene flow
Species are commonly thought to be evolutionarily independent in a way that populations
within a species are not. In recent years, studies that seek to identify evolutionarily …

Guidelines for DNA taxonomy, with a focus on the meiofauna
Describing biological diversity is a challenging endeavour, especially for the small, cryptic
animals that make up the meiofauna. The field of DNA taxonomy, ie, the use of DNA to …

DISSECT: an assignment-free Bayesian discovery method for species delimitation under the multispecies coalescent
Motivation: The multispecies coalescent model provides a formal framework for the
assignment of individual organisms to species, where the species are modeled as the …
