Molecular identification of birds: performance of distance-based DNA barcoding in three genes to delimit parapatric species.
<h4>Background</h4>DNA barcoding based on the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (cox1 or COI) has been successful in species identification across a wide array of taxa but in some cases failed to delimit the species boundaries of closely allied allopatric species or of hybr...
