Repositories for taxonomic data: where we are and what is missing
Natural history collections are leading successful large-scale projects of specimen
digitization (images, metadata, DNA barcodes), thereby transforming taxonomy into a big …

Is it time to describe new species without diagnoses?—A comment on Sharkey et al. (2021)
New methods in taxonomy and systematics can influence the overall practice of formally
naming and describing biodiversity. DNA barcoding has been controversial since its …
