The availability of genetic data has revolutionised taxonomy in several fields, particularly fungi, where species were traditionally separated on the basis of their reproductive fruiting bodies, which were seldom visible and often difficult to tell apart. Another important use comes in the identification of biological control agents. Rather than attempting to introduce a generalist predator of a pest species, identification of the correct cryptic species could lead to more effective control.
