DNA barcoding has greatly accelerated the pace of specimen identification to the species
level, as well as species delineation. Whereas the application of DNA barcoding to the …

Biological diversity is depleting at an alarming rate. Additionally, a vast amount of
biodiversity still remains undiscovered. Taxonomy has been serving the purpose of …

Taxa are frequently labeled incertae sedis when their placement is debated at ranks above
the species level, such as their subgeneric, generic, or subtribal placement. This is a …

This study summarizes results of a DNA barcoding campaign on German Diptera, involving
analysis of 45,040 specimens. The resultant DNA barcode library includes records for 2,453 …

Among the 899 species of freshwater fishes reported from Sundaland biodiversity hotspot,
nearly 50% are endemics. The functional integrity of aquatic ecosystems is currently …

DNA barcoding has been largely successful in satisfactorily exposing levels of standing
genetic diversity for a wide range of taxonomic groups through the employment of only one …

Accurate identification of fishes is essential for understanding their biology and to ensure
food safety for consumers. DNA barcoding is an important tool because it can verify …

DNA barcoding has greatly facilitated studies of taxonomy, biodiversity, biological
conservation, and ecology. Here, we establish a reliable DNA barcoding library for Chinese …

Mosquitoes (Culicidae) represent the main vector insects globally, and they also inhabit
many of the terrestrial and aquatic habitats of the world. DNA barcoding and metabarcoding …

Background Taxonomy offers precise species identification and delimitation and thus
provides basic information for biological research, eg through assessment of species …
