DNA barcodes for insect pest identification: a test case with tussock moths (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae)

Reliable and rapid identification of exotic pest species is critical to biosecurity. However, identification of morphologically indistinct specimens, such as immature life stages, that are frequent...
