Although species are central units for biological research, recent findings in genomics are
raising awareness that what we call species can be ill-founded entities due to solely …

The recent advances in sequencing technologies, phylogenomics and divergence dating
methods call for an integrative review of the current state of Hymenoptera systematics. We …

The diverse, largely Neotropical subtribe Euptychiina is widely regarded as one of the most
taxonomically challenging groups among all butterflies. Over the last two decades …

DNA taxonomy including barcoding and metabarcoding is widely used to explore the
diversity in biodiversity hotspots. In most of these hotspot areas, chafers are represented by …

An accurate species‐level taxonomy is paramount for biogeographical research, and
conversely, biogeographical data are of importance for species delimitation. We here review …

DNA barcoding is an essential tool in modern biodiversity sciences. Despite considerable
work to barcode the tree of life, many groups, including insects, remain partially or totally …

Abstract The Molecular Weevil Identification project (MWI) studies the systematics of
Western Palearctic weevils (superfamily Curculionoidea) in an integrative taxonomic …

The focus of this study has been to understand the evolutionary relationships and taxonomy
of a widely distributed parapatric species pair of wild silk moths in Europe: Saturnia pavonia …

Biodiversity patterns are the sum of multiple overlapping species distributions. Their analysis
therefore requires proper species inference. DNA‐based species delimitation has become …

Germany is home to a rich cuckoo wasp fauna (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae) with about 108
species. However, several nomenclatural changes, the lack of identification keys, and the …
