Integrating Multiplicate Data - A New Trend for Taxonomic Study.

Taxonomy today encompasses classification, phylogeny, and evolution (Hong, 2016; Figure 1). Early taxonomic studies were mainly based on morphological-geographical evidence and even only on one or a few specimens, which is greatly influenced by researchers' judgment. Moreover, limited observations of variation within and between populations have often resulted in misinterpretations of the kinship between groups and the inability to delimitate species scientifically.
