Lessons from leeches: a call for DNA barcoding in the lab.

Evolution & development - 1 Jan 2000

Bely Alexandra E, Weisblat David A

Abstract excerpt

Many evolution of development labs study organisms that must be periodically collected from the wild. Whenever this is the case, there is the risk that different field collections will recover genetically different strains or cryptic species. Ignoring this potential for genetic variation may introduce an uncontrolled source of experimental variability, leading to confusion or misinterpretation of the results....
