Almost all empirical studies in ecology have to identify the species involved in the ecological
process under examination. DNA metabarcoding, which couples the principles of DNA …

The unprecedented amount of data resulting from next-generation sequencing has opened
a new era in phylogenetic estimation. Although large datasets should, in theory, increase …

DNA barcoding-type studies assemble single-locus data from large samples of individuals
and species, and have provided new kinds of data for evolutionary surveys of diversity. An …

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 …

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 …

Molecular tools have revolutionized the exploration of biodiversity, especially in organisms
for which traditional taxonomy is difficult, such as for microscopic animals (meiofauna) …

Integrative taxonomy is an approach for defining species and genera by taking phylogenetic,
morphological, physiological, and ecological data into account. This approach is appropriate …

Biodiversity studies are commonly conducted using 18S rRNA genes. In this study, we
compared the inter-species divergence of variable regions (V1–9) within the copepod 18S …

Abstract The Longibrachiatum Clade of Trichoderma is revised. Eight new species are
described (T. aethiopicum, T. capillare, T. flagellatum, T. gillesii, T. gracile, T. pinnatum, T …

DNA barcoding has been largely successful in satisfactorily exposing levels of standing
genetic diversity for a wide range of taxonomic groups through the employment of only one …
