The role of integrative taxonomy in the conservation management of cryptic species: the taxonomic status of endangered earless dragons (Agamidae: Tympanocryptis) in the grasslands of Queensland, Australia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Molecular phylogenetics is increasingly highlighting the prevalence of cryptic species, where morphologically similar organisms have long independent evolutionary histories.

Cytogenetic and genetic data support Crossodactylus aeneus Müller, 1924 as a new junior synonym of C. gaudichaudii Duméril and Bibron, 1841 (Amphibia, Anura) [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2021
The nominal anuran species Crossodactylus gaudichaudii Duméril and Bibron, 1841 and Crossodactylus aeneus Müller, 1924 are indistinguishable based on adult and larval morphology, being subject of taxonomic doubts.

Timeless standards for species delimitation

Zootaxa, 2016
Recently a new species of bombyliid fly, Marleyimyia xylocopae, was described by Marshall & Evenhuis (2015) based on two photographs taken during fieldwork in the Republic of South Africa. This species has no preserved holotype. The paper generated some buzz, especially among dipterists, because in most cases photographs taken in the field provide ...

Use of RAD sequencing for delimiting species [PDF]

Heredity, 2014
RAD-tag sequencing is a promising method for conducting genome-wide evolutionary studies. However, to date, only a handful of studies empirically tested its applicability above the species level. In this communication, we use RAD tags to contribute to the delimitation of species within a diverse genus of deep-sea octocorals, Chrysogorgia, for which few

Values, regulation, and species delimitation [PDF]

Zootaxa, 2018
Garnett and Christidis (2017) [hereafter GC] recently proposed that the International Union of the Biological Sciences should centrally regulate the taxonomy of complex organisms. Their proposal was met with much criticism (e.g. Hołyński 2017; Thomson et al., 2018), and perhaps most extensively from Raposo et al. (2017) in this journal. The main target

Biodiversity inventory of the grey mullets (Actinopterygii: Mugilidae) of the Indo‐Australian Archipelago through the iterative use of DNA‐based species delimitation and specimen assignment methods

Evolutionary Applications, 2020
DNA barcoding opens new perspectives on the way we document biodiversity. Initially proposed to circumvent the limits of morphological characters to assign unknown individuals to known species, DNA barcoding has been used in a wide array of studies where

DNA Barcoding of Penaeidae (Decapoda; Crustacea): Non-Distance-Based Species Delimitation of the Most Economically Important Shrimp Family

Diversity, 2021
The Penaeidae family includes some of the most economic and ecological important marine shrimp, comprising hundreds of species. Despite this importance and diversity, the taxonomic classification for penaeid shrimp has constantly been revised, and issues

Cylindrocarpon root rot: multi-gene analysis reveals novel species within the Ilyonectria radicicola species complex [PDF]

, 2011
Ilyonectria radicicola and its Cylindrocarpon-like anamorph represent a species complex that is commonly associated with root rot disease symptoms on a range of hosts.

Bridging Micro- and Macro- Evolution In Tropical Fishes [PDF]

, 2023
In marine environments, barriers to dispersal can be challenging to identify because they are often cryptic. Unlike terrestrial environments, where a mountain chain that is visible can physically separate two populations of animals, vast masses of water ...

The Genealogical Sorting Index and species delimitations [PDF]

, 2016
Abstract The Genealogical Sorting Index ( gsi ) has been widely used in species-delimitation studies, where it is usually interpreted as a measure of the degree to which each of several predefined groups of specimens display a pattern of divergent evolution in a phylogenetic tree ...
