DNA Barcoding Study of Representative Thymus Species in Bulgaria
We present a study on the taxonomy of eleven Thymus species, belonging to two sections and occurring naturally in Bulgaria. Four DNA barcoding markers—matK, rbcL, trnH-psbA and ITS—were applied to discriminate the species and to reveal their phylogenetic

Revealing the hyperdiverse mite fauna of subarctic Canada through DNA barcoding. [PDF]
Although mites are one of the most abundant and diverse groups of arthropods, they are rarely targeted for detailed biodiversity surveys due to taxonomic constraints.

Reassessment of the mitochondrial 12S-rRNA gene for DNA barcoding of museum specimens of shelled marine gastropods from Japan [PDF]
DNA barcoding is an effective and powerful tool for taxonomic identification and thus very useful for biodiversity monitoring. This study investigated the usefulness of the mitochondrial 12S-rRNA gene for the DNA barcoding of shelled marine gastropods ...

Plant DNA Barcodes, Taxonomic Management, and Species Discovery in Tropical Forests [PDF]
DNA barcodes have great potential for species identification and taxonomic discovery in tropical forests. This use of DNA barcodes requires a reference DNA library of known taxa with which to match DNA from unidentified specimens. At an even more basic level, it presupposes that the species in the regional species pool have Latin binomials. This is not

Morphology and molecules reveal unexpected cryptic diversity in the enigmatic genus Sinobirma Bryk, 1944 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) [PDF]
The wild silkmoth genus Sinobirma Bryk, 1944 is a poorly known monotypic taxon from the eastern end of the Himalaya Range. It was convincingly proposed to be closely related to some members of an exclusively Afro-tropical group of Saturniidae, but its ...

Ecological niche modelling and nDNA sequencing support a new, morphologically cryptic beetle species unveiled by DNA barcoding. [PDF]
DNA sequencing techniques used to estimate biodiversity, such as DNA barcoding, may reveal cryptic species. However, disagreements between barcoding and morphological data have already led to controversy.
