DNA barcoding and species delimitation of crickets, katydids, and grasshoppers (Orthoptera) from Central and Southern Europe, with focus on the Mediterranean Basin [PDF]
The Mediterranean Basin, recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot, harbors a remarkable diversity of grasshoppers, katydids, and crickets, many of which are endemic and potentially contain cryptic lineages.

The Diamesinae (Diptera: Chironomidae) in High-Altitude Andean Streams Using Morphological and Molecular Approaches. [PDF]
Diamesinae is one of the 11 subfamilies of Chironomidae, characterized by its preference for cold waters, typically found in mountainous regions. For the genus Limaya, two OTUs were identified using all methods, one for Ecuador and one for Peru. Seven OTUs were identified for the genus Paraheptagyia.

Assessing Current Fish Diversity in the Yellow River Basin by Integrating Large-Scale Barcoding and Morphological Data. [PDF]
In this study, 127 sampling points were sampled in the Yellow River Basin, and a DNA barcode database of 3011 sequences and 110 species was constructed. We found that diversity of fish species in the Yellow River Basin has been seriously underestimated.

Combining and Comparing Coalescent, Distance and Character-Based Approaches for Barcoding Microalgaes: A Test with Chlorella-Like Species (Chlorophyta). [PDF]
Several different barcoding methods of distinguishing species have been advanced, but which method is the best is still controversial. Chlorella is becoming particularly promising in the development of second-generation biofuels. However, the taxonomy of

Increasing the digital repository of DNA barcoding sequences of sand flies (Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) [PDF]
Sand fly identification is complex because it depends on the expertise of the taxonomist. The females show subtle morphological differences and the occurrence of the species complexes are usual in this taxon.
