Public relation work and education are important pillars of ABOL. According to the well-known motto “only things that are known can be appreciated and protected” ABOL tries to keep the public informed.
When you are looking for publications dealing with various aspects of DNA barcoding, we would like to invite you to use our ABOL Zotero group.
