Novel primers improve species delimitation in Cercospora by Mounes Bakhshi, Mahdi Arzanlou, Asadollah Babai-ahari, Johannes Z. Groenewald, Pedro W. Crous

“…In spite of this approach, however, several species complexes remained unresolved as no single gene proved informative enough to act as DNA barcoding locus for the genus. Therefore, the aims of the present study were firstly to improve species delimitation in the genus Cercospora by testing additional genes and primers on a broad set of species, and secondly to find the best DNA barcoding gene(s) for species delimitation. …”

Three new species of Niphargidae family added to the list of subterranean amphipods (Crustacea: Amphipoda) in Slovenia by Cene Fišer, Teo Delić, Maja Zagmajster

“…Identification of all three species was based on molecular comparative analyses of the mitochondrial CO1 gene fragment, usually used in DNA barcoding identification. With these additions, we reached a total of 201 amphipod species confirmed for Slovenia, 60 of which are groundwater inhabitants, with 57 species belonging to the genus Niphargus. …”

Integrative diagnosis and review of the conservation status of a Near Threatened species of the “Psalidodon scabripinnis complex” by Priscilla Caroline Silva, Karine Orlandi Bonato, Vinícius A. Bertaco, Luiz Roberto Malabarba

“…Abstract The integration between morphological and barcode datasets allowed the discovery of new populations of Psalidodon cremnobates, expanding the distribution of this species to the Mampituba River drainage, municipality of Cambará do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and letting a review of the classification of extinction risk. DNA barcoding for these populations and other of the “Psalidodon scabripinnis complex” living in swift currents further supports the recognition of Psalidodon brachypterygium (new combination), P. cremnobates and P. laticeps as distinctive species, regardless of the lack of discrete and diagnosable ranges in body counts and measurements among them. …”

An eastern Congolian endemic, or widespread but secretive? New data on the recently described Afrixalus lacustris (Anura, Hyperoliidae) from the Democratic Republic of the Congo by Tadeáš Nečas, Gabriel Badjedjea, Janis Czurda, Václav Gvoždík

“…Previously, because of its similarity, it had been understood to represent eastern populations of the unrelated A. laevis, which is known mainly from Cameroon. Based on DNA barcoding, we document the westward extension of the known range of A. lacustris within lowland rainforests in the Northeastern and Central Congolian Lowland Forests. …”

Comparison of DNA Extraction Methods for the Detection of Canned Tuna Species with DNA Mini-Barcoding by Aubrey J. Emmi, Biola Fatusin, Rosalee S. Hellberg

“…Tuna is susceptible to species mislabeling due to its high demand, quick rate of production, and wide range of price points. DNA barcoding, a sequencing-based technique, allows for the detection of species mislabeling by targeting a standardized region of DNA. …”

Integrating taxonomic, genetic and ecological data to explore the species richness of wild bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Anthophila) of the Culuccia Peninsula (NE Sardinia, Italy) by Matteo Annessi, Alessandra Riccieri, Marilena Marconi, Sabrina Rossi, Andrea Di Giulio

“…The aim of this work was to provide the first checklist of Apoidea Anthophila from an unexplored peninsula in north-eastern Sardinia (Italy), by combining traditional (morphologically-based) taxonomy and DNA barcoding. In addition, records of flower visits are provided and shown in a visitor network to enrich the scarce data on the associations between wild bees and plants in the Mediterranean Region. …”
