[Taxacom] Identification by what method?

[Timothy Jones]

Howdy All,

Recently someone stated to me that the gold standard of biodiversity
identification was gene sequencing.   Which got me to thinking - how often
is gene sequencing used for ID as compared to traditional methods of
identification?  My Google-fu is strong and can find zilch out there.  Anyone
know of any papers that discuss this?

Thanks in advance,

Tim
