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 ...

Species Delimitation Methods Facilitate the Identification of Cryptic Species Within the Broadly Distributed Species in Homoeocerus (Tliponius) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Coreidae) [PDF]
InsectsWidespread species may exhibit considerable genetic variation among populations due to their extensive distribution ranges, and may even give rise to new species in remote areas.

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.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Species delimitation among closely related species is challenging because traditional phenotype‐based approaches, for example, using morphology, ecological, or chemical characteristics, may not coincide with natural groupings.

Cryptic Species Diversity and Phylogenetic Relationship in the Rust Genus Chrysomyxa from China
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Chrysomyxa rusts are fungal pathogens widely distributed in the Northern hemisphere, causing spruce needle and cone rust diseases, and they are responsible for significant economic losses in China.

The hyperdominant tropical tree Eschweilera coriacea (Lecythidaceae) shows higher genetic heterogeneity than sympatric Eschweilera species in French Guiana [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Background and aims – The evolutionary history of Amazonia’s hyperabundant tropical tree species, also known as “hyperdominant” species, remains poorly investigated. We assessed whether the hyperdominant Eschweilera coriacea (DC.) S.A.Mori (Lecythidaceae)

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.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 DNA barcoding and DNA‐based species delimitation are major tools in DNA taxonomy. Sampling has been a central debate in this context, because the geographical composition of samples affects the accuracy and performance of DNA barcoding.

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
