Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy

Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy is a research topic within Genetics. Science Explorer counts 20k research works in it since 1950. 10.0% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the use of DNA barcoding to identify and classify Lepidoptera species, particularly butterflies and moths. It explores the application of DNA-based registry systems, molecular phylogenetics, and evolutionary patterns within the Lepidoptera order. The research also delves into the challenges and successes of using DNA barcodes for species identification and delimitation.
