The promise of a DNA taxonomy [PDF]
Not only is the number of described species a very small proportion of the estimated extant number of taxa, but it also appears that all concepts of the extent and boundaries of 'species' fail in many cases.

Development of mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I primer sets to construct DNA barcoding library using next-generation sequencing [PDF]
Insects are one of the most diverse eukaryotic groups on the planet, with one million or more species present, including those yet undescribed. The DNA barcoding system has been developed, which has aided in the identification of cryptic species and ...

Integrated Taxonomy Reveals Hidden Diversity in Northern Australian Fishes: A New Species of Seamoth (Genus Pegasus). [PDF]
Fishes are one of the most intensively studied marine taxonomic groups yet cryptic species are still being discovered. An integrated taxonomic approach is used herein to delineate and describe a new cryptic seamoth (genus Pegasus) from what was ...

Wolbachia and DNA barcoding insects: patterns, potential and problems
Wolbachia is a genus of bacterial endosymbionts that impacts the breeding systems of their hosts. Wolbachia can confuse the patterns of mitochondrial variation, including DNA barcodes, because it influences the pathways through which mitochondria are ...

Reconstructing mammalian phylogenies : a detailed comparison of the cytochrome b and cytochrome oxidase subunit I mitochondrial genes [PDF]
The phylogeny and taxonomy of mammalian species were originally based upon shared or derived morphological characteristics. However, genetic analyses have more recently played an increasingly important role in confirming existing or establishing often ...

DNA barcoding as intergenerational transfer of taxonomic knowledge
I tweeted about this but want to bookmark it for later as well. The paper "A molecular-based identification resource for the arthropods of Finland" doi:10.1111/1755-0998.13510 contains the following: I think this is a very clever way to characterise the project.
