The genomic revolution has fundamentally changed how we survey biodiversity on earth.
High‐throughput sequencing (“HTS”) platforms now enable the rapid sequencing of DNA …

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 …

The multispecies coalescent model underlies many approaches used for species
delimitation. In previous work assessing the performance of species delimitation under this …

The species problem has triggered the publication of an almost infinite number of theoretical
and practical studies, including quite a number of books. I should, therefore, perhaps briefly …

The origin of biological diversity, via the formation of new species, can be inextricably linked
to adaptation to the ecological environment. Specifically, ecological processes are central to …

The issue of species delimitation has long been confused with that of species
conceptualization, leading to a half century of controversy concerning both the definition of …

The analysis of DNA barcode sequences with varying techniques for cluster recognition
provides an efficient approach for recognizing putative species (operational taxonomic units …

Genetic data are frequently used to delimit species, where species status is determined on
the basis of an exclusivity criterium, such as reciprocal monophyly. Not only are there …

New insights in the speciation process and the nature of “species” that accumulated in the
past decade demand adjustments of the species concept. The standing of some of the most …

Asexuals are an important test case for theories of why species exist. If asexual clades
displayed the same pattern of discrete variation as sexual clades, this would challenge the …
