DNA barcoding does not separate South American Triatoma (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), Chagas Disease vectors

Abstract Background DNA barcoding assumes that a biological entity is completely separated from its closest relatives by a barcoding gap, which means that intraspecific genetic distance (from COI sequences) should never be greater than interspecific distances. We investigated the applicability of th...
