One species in eight : DNA barcodes from type specimens resolve a taxonomic quagmire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Each holotype specimen provides the only objective link to a particular Linnean binomen. Sequence information from them is increasingly valuable due to the growing usage of DNA barcodes in taxonomy.

No guts, no glory: Gut content metabarcoding unveils the diet of a flower‐associated coastal sage scrub predator

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 10, Issue 5, May 2019., 2019
Abstract Invertebrate generalist predators are ubiquitous and play a major role in food‐web dynamics. Molecular gut content analysis (MGCA) has become a popular means to assess prey ranges and specificity of cryptic arthropods in the absence of direct observation.
