The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Protecting the innocent: studying short-range endemic taxa enhances conservation outcomes (2011, unknown): “Molecular systematic and population genetic methods are crucial to unearthing cryptic taxa (Cook et al. 2010), owing at least, in some taxonomic groups, to their morphological constancy.”
Alleviating the taxonomic impediment of DNA barcoding and setting a bad precedent: names for ten species of ‘Astraptes fulgerator’ (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae) with DNA-based diagnoses (2010, background): “Although some have advocated DNA-based diagnoses (e.g. Cook et al., 2010), the publication of these names does not imply the author’s endorsement of using DNA barcode polymorphisms in ISSN 1477-2000 print / 1478-0933 online C© 2010 The Natural History Museum DOI: 10.1080/14772000.2010.534512 lieu…”
Genetic Diversity and Conservation Units: Dealing With the Species-Population Continuum in the Age of Genomics (2018, background): “, 2013; Rannala, 2015), but are they ephemeral populations or durable species (Sukumaran and Knowles, 2017)? It certainly is possible, within the rules of nomenclature, to recognize species from DNA sequences alone, providing sequence-based diagnostics (Tautz et al., 2003; Cook et al., 2010).”
