FISH‐BOL, the Fish Barcode of Life campaign, is an international research collaboration that
is assembling a standardized reference DNA sequence library for all fishes. Analysis is …

Despite taxonomy's 250‐year history, the past 20 years have borne witness to remarkable
advances in technology and techniques, as well as debate. DNA barcoding has generated a …

We amplified and sequenced the mitochondrial control region from 23 species representing
six families of teleost fish. The length of this segment is highly variable among even closely …

Seafood authentication and food safety concerns are a growing issue in today's global
marketplace, although traditional morphology-based identification keys and existing …

Cytochrome b is the central redox catalytic subunit of the quinol: cytochrome c or
plastocyanin oxidoreductases. It is involved in the binding of the quinone substrate and it is …

Species identification was carried out by nucleotide sequence analysis of the cytochrome b
(cytb) gene. The aim of the study was to identify biological specimens from diverse …

A variety of methods exist whereby the residual DNA content of food material can be used to
unequivocally identify the nature of the product. Various techniques are described and …

Throughout its natural range, the brown trout Salmo trutta L. exhibits a complex pattern of
morphological and life‐history variation. This has led to considerable taxonomic confusion …

How common are cryptic species-those overlooked because of their morphological
similarity? Despite its wide-ranging implications for biology and conservation, the answer …

'Biodiversity'means the variety of life and it can be studied at different levels (genetic,
species, ecosystem) and scales (spatial and temporal). Last decades showed that marine …
