Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change (GCC) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …

Background Taxonomy is the biological discipline that identifies, describes, classifies and
names extant and extinct species and other taxa. Nowadays, species taxonomy is …

Despite their high diversity and importance for humankind, invertebrates are often neglected
in biodiversity conservation policies. We identify seven impediments to their effective …

Cataloging the very large number of undescribed species of insects could be greatly
accelerated by automated DNA based approaches, but procedures for large-scale 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 …

DNA barcoding is a novel system designed to provide rapid, accurate, and automatable
species identifications by using short, standardized gene regions as internal species tags …

DNA 条形码技术是利用标准的, 具有足够变异的, 易扩增且相对较短的DNA
片段在物种内的特异性和种间的多样性而创建的一种新的生物身份识别系统 …

DNA barcoding and DNA taxonomy have recently been proposed as solutions to the crisis of
taxonomy and received significant attention from scientific journals, grant agencies, natural …

Plants are of fundamental importance to life on Earth. The shapes of leaves, petals and
whole plants are of great significance to plant science, as they can help to distinguish …

Taxonomy and species conservation are often assumed to be completely interdependent
activities. However, a shortage of taxonomic information and skills, and confusion over …
