Since 2005, advances in next‐generation sequencing technologies have revolutionized
biological science. The analysis of environmental DNA through the use of specific gene markers …

DNA barcoding is an efficient method to identify specimens and to detect undescribed/cryptic
species. Sanger sequencing of individual specimens is the standard approach in …

Genetic information is a valuable component of biosystematics, especially specimen
identification through the use of species-specific DNA barcodes. Although many genomics …

Biodiversity metrics are critical for assessment and monitoring of ecosystems threatened by
anthropogenic stressors. Existing sorting and identification methods are too expensive and …

We reviewed the availability of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences for 2534
North American freshwater invertebrate genera in public databases (GenBank and Barcode of …

DNA sequence data from a variety of mitochondrial and nuclear gene regions are
significant components of phylogenetic research in entomology. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) …

Current methods to identify unknown insect (class Insecta) cytochrome c oxidase ( COI barcode)
sequences often rely on thresholds of distances that can be difficult to define, sequence …

The first attempt to phylogenetically place Conopidae using molecular characters, as well
as the largest molecular analysis of relationships within Schizophora (Diptera) to date, is …

Ecological networks are powerful tools for visualizing biodiversity data and assessing ecosystem
health and function. Constructing these networks requires considerable empirical efforts…

Species of grasshopper have been divided into three diet classifications based on mandible
morphology: forbivorous (specialist on forbs), graminivorous (specialist on grasses), and …
