Scaling Biodiversity Assessment Through Integrating Innovative Molecular Tools and Workflows in Taxonomy

The global biodiversity crisis requires rapid and accurate creation of an inventory of life on Earth. Traditional taxonomy, while foundational, faces a "bottleneck" due to
the sheer volume of species and the complexity of cryptic species complexes. The TETTRIs project is addressing this by developing and implementing state-of-theart molecular tools—ranging from single-locus DNA barcoding to screening entire genomes —that bridge the gap between high-throughput monitoring and expertled taxonomic description.
