Cox1 barcoding versus multilocus species delimitation: validation of two mite species with contrasting effective population sizes

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The cox1-barcoding approach is currently extensively used for high-throughput species delimitation and discovery. However, this method has several limitations, particularly when organisms have large effective population sizes. Paradoxically, most common, abundant, and widely distributed species may be misclassified by this technique. RESULTS: We conducted species delimitation analyses for two...
