Identifying discontinuous entities within species complexes is a major topic in systematic
and evolutionary biology. Comprehensive inventories describing and identifying species …

Species delimitations is problematic in many cases due to the difficulty of evaluating
predictions from species hypotheses. In many cases delimitations rely on subjective …

Statistical species delimitation usually relies on singular data, primarily genetic, for detecting
putative species and individual assignment to putative species. Given the variety of …

Species delimitation is a major research focus in evolutionary biology because accurate
species boundaries are a prerequisite for the study of speciation. New species delimitation …

A decade ago Sites and Marshall [1] described the empirical practice of species delimitation
as “a Renaissance issue in systematic biology”. At the time there was an odd disconnect …

Most widespread birds of Neotropical cloud forests exhibit phenotypic variation that is
partitioned geographically suggesting allopatric divergence, but little is known about the …

Given the availability of genomic data to identify separately evolving groups of organisms,
many researchers establish species limits based on assessments of the extent of gene flow …

T he theoretical literature on species and speciation has frequently been viewed as chaotic,
onerous, and unenlightening (eg, Hull 1997; Morrison 2011; Harrison 2012), but it remains …
