Species delimitation in the age of genomics
The 2015 CBA conference aims to explore the impact of genomics on species discovery and delimitation in the context of taxonomic practice and applications.
Over three days, local and international speakers will expose to Australian systematists to developing analytical techniques and software for genomic species delimitation (separate or simultaneous with phylogenetic inference), in the context of integrative taxonomy
