Among freshwater benthic fauna, one of the most frequently observed groups of insects is
midges of the family Chironomidae (Diptera). Their identification to the species level by …

Knowledge of species distribution across space and time is critical to ecological
conservation and environmental management at the local, regional and global scales …

The main aim of this study was to curate a COI barcode library of Chironomidae from the
Tibetan Plateau (TP) as an essential supplement to the public database. Another aim is to …

The Leptomias group represents one of the most diverse taxonomic group of weevils in the
Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau and its adjacent areas. Despite the potential of hidden diversity …

Abstract The genus Paris (Melanthiaceae) holds significant pharmaceutical importance and
is subject to high conservation concerns. Accurate species identification plays a crucial role …

The Rheotanytarsus guineensis species group (Diptera: Chironomidae) is a species diverse
and taxonomically difficult group. Using DNA barcodes, we found five new species within the …

Exploring the effectiveness of DNA barcoding in species identification is a prerequisite for
biodiversity conservation and environmental monitoring. Aquatic oligochaetes could serve …

Although studies of insect decline have recently dominated headlines worldwide, their
interpretation requires caution since for most species, we lack long‐term population …

DNA-based taxonomic identification relies on comprehensive DNA reference libraries, but
uneven barcode coverage poses a global challenge. Here we determined the gaps in BOLD …

The adoption of DNA-based assessments for biodiversity monitoring has been on the rise.
However, the effectiveness of DNA-based taxonomic assignments heavily relies on the …
