TLDR
The evolution of characters traditionally regarded as taxonomically important are assessed by reconstructing a phylogenetic hypothesis based on sequence data from four nuclear ribosomal markers as well as fragments from two protein-coding nuclear loci, suggesting that major diagnostic characters have evolved in a homoplasious manner.

How to fail at species delimitation.

TL;DR: Researchers should apply a wide range of species delimitation analyses to their data and place their trust in delimitations that are congruent across methods, for in most contexts it is better to fail to delimit species than it is to falsely delimit entities that do not represent actual evolutionary lineages.

Coalescent-based species delimitation in an integrative taxonomy

TL;DR: Along with other tools and data types, coalescent-based species delimitation will play an important role in an integrative taxonomy that emphasizes the identification of species limits and the processes that have promoted lineage diversification.

Goodbye morphology? A paradigm shift in the delimitation of species in lichenized fungi

TL;DR: The role of molecular data in understanding species-level diversity in lichenized fungi is reported on by reviewing current literature, focusing primarily on Ascomycota.

Inference of population structure using multilocus genotype data

TL;DR: Pritch et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a model-based clustering method for using multilocus genotype data to infer population structure and assign individuals to populations, which can be applied to most of the commonly used genetic markers, provided that they are not closely linked.

MRBAYES: Bayesian inference of phylogenetic trees

TL;DR: The program MRBAYES performs Bayesian inference of phylogeny using a variant of Markov chain Monte Carlo, and an executable is available at http://brahms.rochester.edu/software.html.

Detecting the number of clusters of individuals using the software STRUCTURE: a simulation study.

TL;DR: It is found that in most cases the estimated ‘log probability of data’ does not provide a correct estimation of the number of clusters, K, and using an ad hoc statistic ΔK based on the rate of change in the log probability between successive K values, structure accurately detects the uppermost hierarchical level of structure for the scenarios the authors tested.

RAxML-VI-HPC: maximum likelihood-based phylogenetic analyses with thousands of taxa and mixed models

TL;DR: UNLABELLED RAxML-VI-HPC (randomized axelerated maximum likelihood for high performance computing) is a sequential and parallel program for inference of large phylogenies with maximum likelihood (ML) that has been used to compute ML trees on two of the largest alignments to date.
