Abstract: Accurate species identification is crucial for ecological studies. For copepods, this is usually based on a few diagnostic morphological characters, which can be highly conserved, resulting in an underestimation of species diversity in many copepod… read more here.

Abstract: Species identification is pivotal in biodiversity assessments and proteomic fingerprinting by MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry has already been shown to reliably identify calanoid copepods to species level. However, MALDI‐TOF data may contain more information beyond mere… read more here.
