In recognition of the Fifth International Barcode of Life Conference opening next week in Kunming, China, we offer Barcoding Life Highlights 2013.
This eight page pdf takes a look at notable developments since the 2011 conference in Adelaide, Australia, offers a big picture view of barcoding’s flourishing first decade, and features hot links to papers, organizations, and databases.
We hope you enjoy!
The Hawk Moth suits the cover, as it is commonly mistaken for a hummingbird. If this is a metaphor for “things are not always what they seem at first” , then well played, because DNA barcode is exactly this – telling us what is what, with no further doubt.
