对于几个群体，如食线虫，基于形态的识别是一门很难的学科，但DNA条形码可能会在识别过程中帮助非专家。在这项研究中，DNA条码被用来揭示太平洋Cephalothrix cf的隐蔽入侵。进入大西洋和地中海海岸的SIMA。虽然DNA条形码是一种很有前途的线虫鉴定方法，但目前已知的线虫物种中只有6%与正确的DNA条形码有关。因此，有必要进行更多的形态和分子研究，以促进DNA条形码在鉴定可能的新月生物入侵方面的应用。
For several groups, like nemerteans, morphology-based identification is a hard discipline, but DNA barcoding may help non-experts in the identification process. In this study, DNA barcoding is used to reveal the cryptic invasion of Pacific Cephalothrix cf. simula into Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. Although DNA barcoding is a promising method for the identification of Nemertea, only 6 % of the known number of nemertean species is currently associated with a correct DNA barcode. Therefore, additional morphological and molecular studies are necessary to advance the utility of DNA barcoding in the characterisation of possible nemertean alien invasions.
