Pity no pdf for this paper claiming to refute the usefulness of barcoding.
A pdf can be found in http://nature.berkeley.edu/~kiplingw/kpublications.html

Matthew, thanks for posting this and others with pdf's. Helpful as I try to understand the basics of barcoding.

Estimating population species diversity from observed frequencies is biased!
biased? ...because no account has bee taken of the unobserved (shadow) species in the population. But, the observed frequency data can be used to estimate the number of shadow species, and so a less biased estimate of population species diversity can be obtained.
