Barcodes to Biomes (Part 2)

Two months ago the Canadian journal Genome published the first of two volumes of a special issue derived from presentations at the 6th International Barcode of Life conference for which I was one of the guest associate editors. The second volume has been published now. All articles are Open Access and there is one headed by yours truly (see if you can spot it).
