Piikun: an information theoretic toolkit for analysis and visualization of species delimitation metric space [PDF]
BMC BioinformaticsBackground Existing software for comparison of species delimitation models do not provide a (true) metric or distance functions between species delimitation models, nor a way to compare these models in terms of relative clustering differences along a ...

Genomic DNA barcodes provide novel insights into species delimitation in the complex Camellia sect. Thea (Theaceae) [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Species delimitation within Camellia sect. Thea is taxonomically challenging due to its complex evolutionary history. This study aims to utilize nuclear and chloroplast data as genomic DNA barcodes to delimit species within this economically ...

To be or not to be… Integrative taxonomy and species delimitation in the daddy long-legs spiders of the genus Physocyclus (Araneae, Pholcidae) using DNA barcoding and morphology [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 Integrative taxonomy is crucial for discovery, recognition, and species delimitation, especially in underestimated species complex or cryptic species, by incorporating different sources of evidence to construct rigorous species hypotheses.

Which morphological characteristics are most influenced by the host matrix in downy mildews? : A case study in Pseudoperonospora cubensis [PDF]
, 2012 Before the advent of molecular phylogenetics, species concepts in the downy mildews, an economically important group of obligate biotrophic oomycete pathogens, have mostly been based upon host range and morphology.
