Abstract DNA barcoding projects require high‐throughput generation of sequence data to assemble the comprehensive reference databases that are required perform large‐scale biodiversity inventories and molecular ecology studies. With advent new sequencing technologies, extraction step, which often requires a considerable amount time money, represents significant bottleneck in many Here, we present one‐step Chelex double‐stranded protocol is quick, cheap, easy works with small quantity...
Using a series of standardized sampling plots within forest ecosystems in remote oceanic islands, we reveal fundamental differences between the structuring aboveground and belowground arthropod biodiversity that are likely due to large-scale species introductions by humans. Species beetle spider were sampled almost exclusively from single while soil-dwelling Collembola exhibited more than tenfold higher sharing among islands. Comparison mitochondrial metagenomic data database 80 000 barcode...
Abstract Obtaining fundamental biodiversity metrics such as alpha, beta and gamma diversity for arthropods is often complicated by a lack of prior taxonomic information and/or expertise, which can result in unreliable morphologically based estimates. We provide set standardized ecological molecular sampling protocols that be employed researchers whose skills may limited, where there robust priori regarding the regional pool species. These combine mass arthropods, classification samples into...
Understanding patterns of community structure and the causes for their variation can be furthered by comparative biogeographic analyses island biotas. We used woody plant data at local scale to investigate variations in species rarity, alpha, beta, gamma diversity within between three islands from oceanic archipelagoes Azores, Canaries Mascarene. standardized protocols sample ten 50 m × forest plots each with contrasting climate regional pools: Terceira (Azores), Tenerife (Canaries), Reunion...
Abstract Aim Spider communities on oceanic islands are assembled through multiple immigration and/or diversification events. In this study, we use a phylogenetic approach to investigate the role of such processes in shaping current patterns diversity Tetragnatha spiders from Mascarene archipelago and compare these with those found Hawaiian archipelago. Location archipelago, south‐western Indian Ocean; Pacific Ocean. Methods Primary techniques included phylogeny reconstruction (mitochondrial...
