Integrative Taxonomic Revision of Goatfishes (Mullidae) in the Northern South China Sea Based on Morphology and Multilocus Molecular Data. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe performed an integrative taxonomic revision of Mullidae from the northern South China Sea using morphology and multilocus markers (COI, 16S rRNA, and IRBP) based on 283 specimens. Morphology identified 18 species in three genera, with PCA showing intergeneric differentiation mainly driven by depth‐related and head‐related traits despite partial ...

DNA barcodes for Aotearoa New Zealand Pyraloidea (Lepidoptera) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020 Identification of pyraloid species is often hampered by highly similar external morphology requiring microscopic dissection of genitalia. This becomes especially obvious when mass samples from ecological studies or insect monitoring have to be analysed ...

DNA Barcoding for Delimitation of Putative Mexican Marine Nematodes Species
Diversity, 2020 Nematode biodiversity is mostly unknown; while about 20,000 nematode species have been described, estimates for species diversity range from 0.1 to 100 million.

The Diamesinae (Diptera: Chironomidae) in High-Altitude Andean Streams Using Morphological and Molecular Approaches. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDiamesinae 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.

Combining and Comparing Coalescent, Distance and Character-Based Approaches for Barcoding Microalgaes: A Test with Chlorella-Like Species (Chlorophyta). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 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

Species delimitation of Margattea cockroaches from China, with seven new species (Blattodea, Ectobiidae, Pseudophyllodromiinae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2021 Nearly 450 Margattea specimens were collected from 27 locations in China and their morphology was examined. Then 68 Margattea COI sequences were obtained and used to carry out phylogenetic analyses as well as species delimitation analyses using General ...

Assessing Current Fish Diversity in the Yellow River Basin by Integrating Large-Scale Barcoding and Morphological Data. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn 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.
