Species delimitation in the cyanolichen genus Rostania [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background In this study, we investigate species limits in the cyanobacterial lichen genus Rostania (Collemataceae, Peltigerales, Lecanoromycetes). Four molecular markers (mtSSU rDNA, β-tubulin, MCM7, RPB2) were sequenced and analysed with two coalescent-

Species Delimitation and Global Biosecurity [PDF]
Evolutionary Bioinformatics, 2011 Species delimitation directly impacts on global biosecurity. It is a critical element in the decisions made by national governments in regard to the flow of trade and to the biosecurity measures imposed to protect countries from the threat of invasive species. Here we outline a novel approach to species delimitation, “tip to root”,

Species delimitation and geography [PDF]
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2020 Abstract Despite the importance of the geographical arrangement of populations for the inference of species boundaries, only a few approaches that integrate spatial information into species delimitation have thus far been developed. Persistent differentiation of sympatric groups of individuals is the best criterion for species status.

Solving the Coral Species Delimitation Conundrum [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2021 AbstractDistinguishing coral species is not only crucial for physiological, ecological, and evolutionary studies but also to enable effective management of threatened reef ecosystems. However, traditional hypotheses that delineate coral species based on morphological traits from the coral skeleton are frequently at odds with tree-based molecular ...

Species delimitation in Amblyosyllis (Annelida, Syllidae).
PLoS ONE, 2019 Amblyosyllis is a worldwide distributed group of annelids mainly found in coastal environments. It is well known among the polychaete specialists mostly because of its notable beauty, showing bright colourful patterns and outstanding long and coiled ...

Homoplasy as an Auxiliary Criterion for Species Delimitation [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Homoplasy is a sort of noise in phylogenetic reconstructions, due to the accumulation of backmutations, convergent evolution and horizontal gene transfer (HGT), which is considered the major trigger of homoplasy in microorganism for its massive presence.

Delimiting Species in Recent Radiations [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2007 Despite considerable effort from the systematics community, delimiting species boundaries in recent radiations remains a daunting challenge. We argue that genealogical approaches, although sometimes useful, may not solve this important problem, because recently derived species often have not had sufficient time to achieve monophyly. Instead, we suggest
