A major thrust of scientific concern in recent years has been the problems of documenting and conserving biodiversity and the establishment of systems of sustainable development. We do not even know approximately how many species in different groups of living organisms share the planet with us. The aim of this volume is to review the practical application of species concepts and appropriate technologies for as wide a diversity as possible of living organisms. It should be of interest to researchers/ postgraduate students in conservation, biodiversity, systematics, taxonomy, and evolution.
