DNA barcoding and mini-barcoding as a powerful tool for feather mite studies [PDF]
Feather mites (Astigmata: Analgoidea and Pterolichoidea) are among the most abundant and commonly occurring bird ectosymbionts. Basic questions on the ecology and evolution of feather mites remain unanswered because feather mite species identification is

DNA barcoding reveals a taxonomic fraud: Note on validity of Propomacrus muramotoae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) [PDF]
Until the early 2000s, the genus Propomacrus was known to comprise two species, occurring in the Eastern Mediterranean and Southeast China. The discovery of Propomacrus muramotoae Fujioka in Tibet and subsequently in Bhutan and Nepal, might play a crucial role in bridging the geographical distribution gap of the Euchirini tribe between the ...

Second-generation environmental sequencing unmasks marine metazoan biodiversity [PDF]
Biodiversity is of crucial importance for ecosystem functioning, sustainability and resilience, but the magnitude and organization of marine diversity at a range of spatial and taxonomic scales are undefined.

Taxonomic characterization of Tanakia species (Acheilognathidae) using DNA barcoding analyses
Tanakia is a bitterling genus with six species found in Far East Asia. Our aim was to construct the standard DNA barcode database available for the identification of six Tanakia species by comparing the range of intra- and inter-specific genetic distances, identifying the phylogenetic placement of each Tanakia species and providing the unique barcode ...

A retrospective approach to testing the DNA barcoding method.
A decade ago, DNA barcoding was proposed as a standardised method for identifying existing species and speeding the discovery of new species. Yet, despite its numerous successes across a range of taxa, its frequent failures have brought into question its

The genus Anastrepha is a diverse lineage of fruit-damaging tephritid flies widespread across the Neotropical Region. Accurate taxonomic identification of these flies is therefore of paramount importance in agricultural contexts.
