Cataloging the very large number of undescribed species of insects could be greatly
accelerated by automated DNA based approaches, but procedures for large-scale species …

DNA barcoding-type studies assemble single-locus data from large samples of individuals
and species, and have provided new kinds of data for evolutionary surveys of diversity. An …

DNA barcoding is a technique in which species identification is performed by using DNA
sequences from a small fragment of the genome, with the aim of contributing to a wide range of …

Beetles represent almost one-fourth of all described species, and knowledge about their
relationships and evolution adds to our understanding of biodiversity. We performed a …

We propose in this paper to use three regions of plastid DNA as a standard protocol for
barcoding all land plants. We review the other markers that have been proposed and discuss …

High-throughput DNA sequencing has the potential to accelerate species discovery if it is
able to recognize evolutionary entities from sequence data that are comparable to species. …

Angiosperms are among the major terrestrial radiations of life and a model group for studying
patterns and processes of diversification. As a tool for future comparative studies, we …

We introduce a general approach for investigating the role of geography in speciation, based
on analyzing the geography of sister clades across all nodes in a species‐level phylogeny. …

Species-level phylogenies derived from molecular data provide an indirect record of the
speciation events that have led to extant species. This offers enormous potential for …

Eight years after DNA barcoding was formally proposed on a large scale, CO1 sequences
are rapidly accumulating from around the world. While studies to date have mostly targeted …
