Fast phylogenetic DNA barcoding [PDF]
We present a heuristic approach to the DNA assignment problem based on phylogenetic inferences using constrained neighbour joining and non-parametric bootstrapping. We show that this method performs as well as the more computationally intensive full Bayesian approach in an analysis of 500 insect DNA sequences obtained from GenBank.

DNA barcoding for identification of Erebia euryale butterflies in the Belluno prealps
openMolto spesso non è semplice identificare le specie quando queste sono morfologicamente molto simili e vivono in simpatria. Tra i lepidotteri, il genere Erebia mostra delle specie morfologicamente simili che si sovrappongono nella loro distribuzione ...

DNA Barcoding: Promise and Pitfalls
In this issue of PLoS Biology, Hebert et al. (2004) have set out to test the resolution and performance of “DNA barcoding,” using a single mtDNA gene, cytochrome c oxidase I (COI), for a sample of North American birds. Before turning to details of this study, it is useful as context to consider the following questions: What is DNA barcoding, and what ...

Societal Impact Statement Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere.
