DNA barcodes on their own are not enough to describe a species
Original language description
Meierotto et al. (2019) and later Sharkey, Janzen, et al. (2021) and Sharkey, Brown, et al. (2021) proposed a ‘minimalist’ approach for describing new species based solely on barcoding without any further differentiation diagnoses. We summarize the main points of concern raised by us (and others) regarding the ‘minimalist’ approach, expand on some points discussed earlier and explain why we think morphology should remain an integral part of species descriptions. To be clear, we oppose the view of Meierotto et al. (2019) and Sharkey, Janzen, et al. (2021) on DNA barcoding as the only source of information for species delimitation and description purposes, and not as a valuable tool in an initial survey of biodiversity.
