摘要

Luo and Zhu(2022)write that"DNA-based integrative taxonomy"requires researchers to ensure they have sufficient sampling to justify the delimitation of a species.While we agree that sample size is an undeniably important aspect of species delimitation,this is neither unique to DNA-based approaches,nor sufficient on its own to address their limitations.
