Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA barcoding based on the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (cox1 or COI) has been successful in species identification across a wide array of taxa but in some cases failed to delimit the species boundaries of closely allied allopatric species or of hybridising sister species. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In this study we extend the sample size of prior studies in birds for cox1...
