DNA barcoding in floral and faunal research

“…In addition to the changes in work flow there have been significant impacts, from finding cryptic species to matching dimorphic males and females, which have substantially improved the quality and depth of the inventory, but also greatly multiplied the number of situations requiring further taxonomic work for resolution. Although the workflow issues differ between different habitats and taxa, other studies have demonstrated the use of barcoding in inventories of diverse taxa, including poorly known freshwater invertebrates (Zhou et al, 2009;Laforest et al, 2013), tropical sand flies (Azpurua et al, 2010;Krüger et al, 2011), bats in Southeast Asia (Francis et al, 2010), difficult to distinguish agricultural pest moths (Roe et al, 2006), pollinating insects in Africa (Nzeduru et al, 2012), diverse radiations of tropical weevils (Pinzón-Navarro et al, 2010a, 2010bTänzler et al, 2012), freshwater fishes in Africa (Swartz et al, 2008;Lowenstein et al, 2011), butterflies at country scales (Dinca et al, 2011;Hausmann et al, 2011), amphibians in Panama (Crawford et al, 2010) and trees in forest plots (Kress et al, 2009(Kress et al, , 2010Costion et al, 2011). Perhaps even greater opportunities for improving the speed and quality of inventories exist in the marine realm, where poorly known larval stages exist in vast quantities, and species concepts must be compared across vast oceanic distances (Goetze, 2010;Heimeier et al, 2010;Hubert et al, 2010;Stern et al, 2010;Plaisance et al, 2011;Ranasinghe et al, 2012).…”
