Strength and Limitations of DNA Barcode under the Multidimensional Species Perspective.

摘要: DNA barcoding aims at providing an efficient method for specieslevel separation using a partial sequence of the mitochondrial COI gene. The efficiency barcode in separating species is based on amount of genetic distance among samples. While many taxa can be efficiently identified through barcode, other situations cannot treated by this approach. causes such discrepancy appear to mostly related nature speciation events and different roles system, natural selection evolutionary time. Thus, represent just one important descriptor framework multidimensional species approach.
