DNA barcodes for bio-surveillance: regulated and economically important arthropod plant pests
Many of the arthropod species that are important pests of agriculture and forestry are
impossible to discriminate morphologically throughout all of their life stages. Some cannot …

High resolution DNA barcode library for European butterflies reveals continental patterns of mitochondrial genetic diversity
The study of global biodiversity will greatly benefit from access to comprehensive DNA
barcode libraries at continental scale, but such datasets are still very rare. Here, we …

Evaluating DNA barcoding for species identification and discovery in European gracillariid moths
Gracillariidae is the most species-rich leaf-mining moth family with over 2,000 described
species worldwide. In Europe, there are 263 valid named species recognized, many of …

Continental-scale patterns of hyper-cryptic diversity within the freshwater model taxon Gammarus fossarum (Crustacea, Amphipoda)
Traditional morphological diagnoses of taxonomic status remain widely used while an
increasing number of studies show that one morphospecies might hide cryptic diversity, ie …

DNA barcodes combined with multilocus data of representative taxa can generate reliable higher-level phylogenies
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 …

The determinants of genetic diversity in butterflies
Under the neutral theory, genetic diversity is expected to increase with population size.
While comparative analyses have consistently failed to find strong relationships between …

A mirage of cryptic species: Genomics uncover striking mitonuclear discordance in the butterfly Thymelicus sylvestris
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing has led to an unprecedented rise in the
identification of cryptic species. However, it is widely acknowledged that nuclear DNA …
