2 Spot check: Dozens of very similar butterfly species from the Calisto genus are endemic in the Caribbean: left, C. hysius; right, C. obscura. Their taxonomy has been clarified with the help of DNA barcoding. (Photo: Andrei Sourakov.) Current Biology  , R73-R76DOI: ( /j.cub ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions

4 Wild camels: The appetite of one million wild camels roaming the Australian wilderness may threaten plant species. With DNA barcoding techniques, researchers have examined the camels' feeding habits. (Photo: Nick Neagle, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, South Australia.)
