Measuring mass: variation among 3,161 species of Canadian Coleoptera and the prospects of a mass registry for all insects [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Although biomass values are critical for diverse ecological and evolutionary analyses, they are unavailable for most insect species. Museum specimens have the potential to address this gap, but the variation introduced by sampling and preservation ...

Validation of COI metabarcoding primers for terrestrial arthropods [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Metabarcoding can rapidly determine the species composition of bulk samples and thus aids biodiversity and ecosystem assessment. However, it is essential to use primer sets that minimize amplification bias among taxa to maximize species recovery. Despite

DNA barcodes enable higher taxonomic assignments in the Acari
Scientific Reports, 2021 Although mites (Acari) are abundant in many terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, their diversity is poorly understood. Since most mite species can be distinguished by variation in the DNA barcode region of cytochrome c oxidase I, the Barcode Index ...

Reconciling seascape genetics and fisheries science in three codistributed flatfishes
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Uncertainty hampers innovative mixed‐fisheries management by the scales at which connectivity dynamics are relevant to management objectives. The spatial scale of sustainable stock management is species‐specific and depends on ecology, life history and ...
