Identification of Amazonian trees with DNA barcodes.
BACKGROUND:Large-scale plant diversity inventories are critical to develop informed conservation strategies. However, the workload required for classic taxonomic surveys remains high and is particularly problematic for megadiverse tropical forests. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:Based on a comprehen...
