Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of DNA barcoding for identifying crayfish species, revealing that while local barcoding gaps exist, only a few genera show global barcoding gaps meeting the typical threshold for species discovery.
- Analysis of mitochondrial COI sequence data from 81 crayfish species indicates that global barcoding gaps are below the previously suggested 10× threshold, leading researchers to propose a new ~5× threshold for better species identification.
- The findings suggest that the existing taxonomy of most crayfish species may be insufficient, indicating a need for taxonomic revisions even for species with identifiable local barcoding gaps.
