Over the last three decades, mitochondrial DNA has been the most popular marker of
molecular diversity, for a combination of technical ease‐of‐use considerations, and …

FISH‐BOL, the Fish Barcode of Life campaign, is an international research collaboration that
is assembling a standardized reference DNA sequence library for all fishes. Analysis is …

Halting biodiversity decline is one of the most critical challenges for humanity, but monitoring
biodiversity is hampered by taxonomic impediments. One impediment is the large number of …

Abstract Spider: SPecies IDentity and Evolution in R is a new R package implementing a
number of useful analyses for DNA barcoding studies and associated research into species …

Good alpha taxonomy is central to biology. On the basis of a survey of arthropod studies that
used multiple disciplines for species delimitation, we evaluated the performance of single …

Here we present evidence, based on 10 datasets comprising 5283 sequences for 200
genera, that the use of the Kimura‐2‐parameter (K2P) model in DNA‐barcoding studies is …

Eight years after DNA barcoding was formally proposed on a large scale, CO1 sequences
are rapidly accumulating from around the world. While studies to date have mostly targeted …

DNA barcoding is one of the best funded and most visible large-scale initiatives in
systematic biology and has generated both much interest and controversy. DNA barcoding …

The widespread assumption that COI and other mitochondrial genes will be ineffective DNA
barcodes for anthozoan cnidarians has not been well tested for most anthozoans other than …

Coccidian parasites in the genus Sarcocystis have a two-host life cycle, and have
traditionally been identified on the basis of morphological features of the sarcocyst stage in …
