Sequence-based species delimitation for the DNA taxonomy of undescribed insects.
Cataloging the very large number of undescribed species of insects could be greatly accelerated by automated DNA based approaches, but procedures for large-scale species discovery from sequence data…

Delimiting Species Using Single-Locus Data and the Generalized Mixed Yule Coalescent Approach: A Revised Method and Evaluation on Simulated Data Sets
TLDR
These findings support the robustness of GMYC as a tool for delimiting species when only single-locus information is available and argue that this might represent a fundamental limit due to the nature of evidence used to delimit species in this approach.

A Comprehensive Phylogeny of Beetles Reveals the Evolutionary Origins of a Superradiation
TLDR
The phylogeny of Coleoptera found that the success of beetles is explained neither by exceptional net diversification rates nor by a predominant role of herbivory and the Cretaceous rise of angiosperms, suggesting that beetle species richness is due to high survival of lineages and sustained diversification in a variety of niches.

Accelerated species inventory on Madagascar using coalescent-based models of species delineation.
TLDR
A modified GMYC model is developed that allows for a variable transition from coalescent to speciation among lineages and provides a method of species discovery and biodiversity assessment using single-locus data from mixed or environmental samples while building a globally available taxonomic database for future identifications.

DNA barcoding the floras of biodiversity hotspots
TLDR
Analysis of >1,000 species of Mesoamerican orchids, DNA barcoding with matK alone reveals cryptic species and proves useful in identifying species listed in Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES) appendixes.

Darwin's abominable mystery: Insights from a supertree of the angiosperms
TLDR
A supertree of angiosperm families from published phylogenetic studies shows that diversification rate is a labile attribute of lineages at all levels of the tree, reflecting the interactive effects of biological traits and the environment.

Detecting the Geographical Pattern of Speciation from Species‐Level Phylogenies
TLDR
It is found that relatively recent speciation events are characterized by greater asymmetry in range size between sister clades than expected under the null models, providing potential support for the peripatric model of speciation.

Independently Evolving Species in Asexual Bdelloid Rotifers
TLDR
It is shown that a classic asexual clade, the bdelloid rotifers, has diversified into distinct evolutionary species and demonstrates how combined molecular and morphological analyses can shed new light on the evolutionary nature of species.

The Effect of Geographical Scale of Sampling on DNA Barcoding
TLDR
A CO1 data set of aquatic predaceous diving beetles of the tribe Agabini is presented and it is shown that even if samples are collected to maximize the geographical coverage, up to 70 individuals are required to sample 95% of intraspecific variation, showing that the geographical scale of sampling has a critical impact on the global application of DNA barcoding.
