Rarity and Incomplete Sampling in DNA-Based Species Delimitation.
DNA-based species delimitation may be compromised by limited sampling effort and species rarity, including "singleton" representatives of species, which hampers estimates of intra- versus interspecies evolutionary processes. In a case study of southern African chafers (beetles in the family Scarabaeidae), many species and subclades were poorly represented and 48.5% of species were singletons. U...
متن کاملConvergence of multiple markers and analysis methods defines the genetic distinctiveness of cryptic pitvipers.
Using multiple markers and multiple analytical approaches is critical for establishing species boundaries reliably, especially so in the case of cryptic species. Despite development of new and powerful analytical methods, most studies continue to adopt a few, with the choice often being subjective. One such example is routine analysis of Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) data using ...
متن کاملBayesian species identification under the multispecies coalescent provides significant improvements to DNA barcoding analyses.
DNA barcoding methods use a single locus (usually the mitochondrial COI gene) to assign unidentified specimens to known species in a library based on a genetic distance threshold that distinguishes between-species divergence from within-species diversity. Recently developed species delimitation methods based on the multispecies coalescent (MSC) model offer an alternative approach to individual ...
متن کاملLimitations of Species Delimitation Based on Phylogenetic Analyses: A Case Study in the Hypogymnia hypotrypa Group (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota)
Delimiting species boundaries among closely related lineages often requires a range of independent data sets and analytical approaches. Similar to other organismal groups, robust species circumscriptions in fungi are increasingly investigated within an empirical framework. Here we attempt to delimit species boundaries in a closely related clade of lichen-forming fungi endemic to Asia, the Hypog...
متن کاملPUCCINIA SPP. ON ARUNDINEAE IN IRAN: DELIMITATION AND DISTRIBUTION
The taxonomy, morphology and distribution of rust species on Arundineae (Poaceae) in Iran was studied. Five species of Puccinia viz. P. magnusiana Körn., P. phragmitis (Schumach.)Körn., P. isiacae G. Winter, P. trabutii Roum. & Sacc. and P. akiyoshidanensis Morim. are described and illustrated. Of these, Puccinia akiyoshidanensis is considered as a distinct species and newly recorded for Irani...
