Myth of the molecule: DNA barcodes for species cannot replace morphology for identification and classification
Kipling Will,Daniel Rubinoff +1 more
TL;DR: So‐called DNA barcodes have recently been proposed to answer the problem of specimen identification and to quantify global biodiversity but this proposition is found to be wanting in terms of rationale, methodology and interpretation of results.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Genomic Perspective on the Shortcomings of Mitochondrial DNA for “Barcoding” Identification
TL;DR: The natural history of mtDNA is reviewed and problems for barcoding which are particularly associated with mtDNA and inheritance are discussed, including reduced effective population size, maternal inheritance, recombination, inconsistent mutation rate, heteroplasmy, and compounding evolutionary processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Between two extremes: mitochondrial DNA is neither the panacea nor the nemesis of phylogenetic and taxonomic inference.
TL;DR: It is argued that most phylogenetic studies, other than the handful employ ing a large-scale, multigenomic approach (Rokas et al., 2003), may suffer drawbacks from using only a small fraction of the total genome, and how analysis of mtDNA can be an important tool in the context of both taxonomic and phylogenetics studies is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utility of Mitochondrial DNA Barcodes in Species Conservation
TL;DR: DNA barcode‐length sequences are an important source of data but, when used alone or out of context, may offer only a fraction of the information needed to characterize species while taking resources from broader studies that could produce information essential to robust and informed conservation decisions.
Journal Article
Synonymization of key pest species within the Bactrocera dorsalis species complex (Diptera: Tephritidae): Taxonomic changes based on a review of 20 years of integrative morphological, molecular, cytogenetic, behavioural and chemoecological data

TL;DR: A major international collaborative and integrated multidisciplinary research effort was initiated in 2009 to build upon existing literature with the specific aim of resolving biological species limits among B. papayae, B. philippinensis and B. dorsalis to overcome constraints to pest management and international trade.
