...In practice, evidence from all character sets is assembled cumulatively, concordances and discordances are explained from the evolutionary perspective of the populations under study, and a decision is made based on the available information, which can lead to recognition of a species on the basis of a single set of characters if these characters are considered good indicators of lineage divergence (Figure 3b[41,46])....

...empirical studies support the view that lack of character congruence is a frequent situation [reviewed for arthropods by [41]] resulting from the different modes and circumstances of speciation [e....
[...]
...For example, some taxonomists see congruence among molecular and morphological characters as a necessary requisite [36,40,43] while, for others [23,41,46], the strength of integration lies in avoiding any a priori selection of character combinations....

...Nonetheless, a general view has emerged that now is the time to construct a more "integrative taxonomy" that would accommodate new concepts and methods [36,37,39-41], and a considerable number of studies have already echoed the new term "integrative taxonomy" [28,31,4245]....

...However, much of the discussion around integrative taxonomy deals with the merits of morphological versus molecular characters [36-39,41,49]....

...This approach is consistent with the spirit of integrative taxonomy, which argues that taxonomic inference should be based on congruence across analyses that utilize multiple sources of data (e.g. Padial et al. 2010; Schlick-Steiner et al. 2010)....

...…data alone are likely inadequate, and species delimitation should be conducted with consideration of the life history, geographical distribution, morphology © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd and behaviour (where applicable) of the focal system (Knowles & Carstens 2007; Schlick-Steiner et al. 2010)....

...An intense debate is ongoing concerning whether the identification of organisms of unresolved alpha taxonomy is amenable to DNA barcoding, because in silico-based identi fication requires gene sequences that accurately reflect natural classifications (Eberhardt 2010, Schlick-Steiner et al. 2010)....

...It can either provide additional support for a species hypothesis (Schlick-Steiner et al., 2010) or detect contradictions among data (Padial et al., 2010); both help link taxonomy with evolutionary biology (Sites & Marshall, 2003, 2004)....

...Finding morphological diagnostic traits among morphologically cryptic species is challenging (Fi ser & Zagmajster, 2009; Schlick-Steiner et al., 2010) and the practical value of such diagnoses may be questionable (Jugovic et al., 2012)....
