Assessing DNA Barcodes for Species Identification in North American Reptiles and Amphibians in Natural History Collections.
BACKGROUND:High rates of species discovery and loss have led to the urgent need for more rapid assessment of species diversity in the herpetofauna. DNA barcoding allows for the preliminary identification of species based on sequence divergence. Prior DNA barcoding work on reptiles and amphibians has...
