Cryptic diversity revealed by DNA barcoding in Colombian illegally traded bird species
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-07)
Colombia is the country with the largest number of bird species worldwide, yet its avifauna is seriously threatened by habitat degradation and poaching. We built a DNA barcode library of nearly half of the bird species ...
DNA barcoding as an aid for species identification in austral black flies (Insecta: Diptera: Simuliidae)
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2017-01)
In this paper, the utility of a partial sequence of the COI gene, the DNA barcoding region, for the identification of species of black flies in the austral region was assessed. Twenty-eight morphospecies were analyzed: ...
Two new species of Hudsonimyia Roback, 1979 (Diptera: Chironomidae: Tanypodinae) from Neotropical Region unveiled by morphology and DNA barcoding
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTDABINGDON, 2012)
Two new species of Hudsonimyia Roback, 1979 (Diptera: Chironomidae: Tanypodinae) are described and illustrated as male, pupa and larva. The generic diagnosis of pupa is emended and keys to males, pupae and larvae of known ...
Contrasting intra versus interspecies DNA sequence variation for representatives of the Batrachospermales (Rhodophyta): Insights from a DNA barcoding approach
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-12-01)
Sixty-five accessions of the species-rich freshwater red algal order Batrachospermales were characterized through DNA sequencing of two regions: the mitochondrial cox1 gene (664 bp), which is proposed as the DNA barcode ...
Molecular identification of cryptic diversity in species of cis-Andean Mylossoma (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae)
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017-09-01)
Mylossoma is a Serrasalmidae genus with only two current valid species in the cis-Andean region but with several available names, today considered as junior synonymous. Morphological information combined with single-locus ...
Occurrence of Isarachnanthus (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Ceriantharia) at Ascension Island: a test of hypothesis
(2014)
A theory that an ancient population of Isarachnanthus from the eastern Atlantic originated the current species is discussed. Based on analysis of DNA barcoding and cnidome it was possible to identify some specimens from ...
Can DNA barcoding accurately discriminate megadiverse Neotropical freshwater fish fauna?
(2013-03-09)
Background: The megadiverse Neotropical freshwater ichthyofauna is the richest in the world with approximately 6,000 recognized species. Interestingly, they are distributed among only 17 orders, and almost 80% of them ...
DNA barcoding supports identification of Malacobdella species (Nemertea: Hoplonemertea)
(Springer, 2015-01-10)
Background: Nemerteans of the genus Malacobdella live inside of the mantle cavity of marine bivalves. The genus currently contains only six species, five of which are host-specific and usually found in a single host species, ...
Highlighting Astyanax species diversity through DNA barcoding
(Public Library of Science, 2016-12)
DNA barcoding has been used extensively to solve taxonomic questions and identify new species. Neotropical fishes are found in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with a large number of species yet to be described, many ...
Overlooked biodiversity of mitochondrial lineages in Hemiodus (Ostariophysi, Characiformes)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-12-19)
Hemiodus is the largest genus of the South American freshwater fish family Hemiodontidae, with 23 valid species. However, the species-level diversity of Hemiodus remains uncertain since morphological studies have indicated ...
