Three new genera are described:
This study describes the species diversity of fishes Narmada River in India. A total 820 fish specimens were collected from 17 sampling locations across whole river basin. Fish taxonomically classified into one 90 possible based on morphological characters, and then DNA barcoding was employed using COI gene sequences as a supplemental identification method. 314 different generated, confirmed to belong 85 representing 63 genera, 34 families 10 orders. Findings this include five putative...
To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, (1) report the creation of a comprehensive library DNA barcodes for arthropods an entire country (Finland), (2) publish library, and (3) deliver new identification tool insects spiders, as based on resource. The contains mtDNA COI 11,275 (43%) 26,437 arthropod species known from Finland, including 10,811 (45%) 23,956 insect species....
From a large expressed sequence tag (EST) database representing several developmental stages of Puccinia triticina, we discovered mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) with homology to kinases known pathogenic functions in other fungi. This PtMAPK1 is similar the Ustilago maydis MAPK, Ubc3/Kpp2, but has longer N-terminal extension 43 amino acids (aa) identities U. Kpp6, homolog Ubc3/Kpp2 170-aa extension. involved mating and subsequent development, whereas Kpp6 during invasive growth corn...
The use of DNA barcoding has revolutionised biodiversity science, but its application depends on the existence comprehensive and reliable reference libraries. For many poorly known taxa, such sequences are missing even at higher-level taxonomic scales. We harvested collections Smithsonian's National Museum Natural History (USNM) to generate for genera terrestrial arthropods previously not recorded in one or more major public sequence databases. Our workflow used a mix Sanger Next-Generation...
We report one year (2013–2014) of biomonitoring an insect community in a tropical old-growth rain forest, during construction industrial-level geothermal electricity project. This is the first-year reaction by species-rich biodiversity; six subsequent years are being analyzed now. The site on margin UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site, Área de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG), northwestern Costa Rica. part Rica’s ongoing efforts to sustainably retain its wild biodiversity through...
Abstract Generic relationships within the parasitoid wasp subfamily Braconinae are assessed based on a molecular phylogenetic analysis of four gene fragments: mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, 16S rDNA, nuclear 28S D2‐D3 rDNA and elongation factor 1‐alpha. Our results support recognition Aphrastobraconini, Braconini Coeloidini plus three new tribes: Compsobraconini tribus nov ., Tropobraconini . Virgulibraconini The first these tribes is restricted to New World; second includes...
Introduction: Species of Mesochorus are found worldwide and members this genus primarily hyperparasitoids Ichneumonoidea Tachinidae. 
 Objectives: To describe species Costa Rican reared from caterpillars to a lesser extent Malaise-trapped. Methods: The diagnosed by COI mtDNA barcodes, morphological inspection, host data. A suite images data (plant, caterpillar, primary parasitoid) provided for each species.
 Results: total 158 new Mesochorus. Sharkey is the taxonomic authority all....
ABSTRACT Although high-throughput sequencers (HTS) have largely displaced their Sanger counterparts, the short read lengths and high error rates of most platforms constrain utility for amplicon sequencing. The present study tests capacity single molecule, real-time (SMRT) sequencing implemented on SEQUEL platform to overcome these limitations, employing 658 bp amplicons mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene as a model system. By examining templates from more than 5,000 species 20,000...
Due to their small size and smooth body, members of the figitid genus Alloxysta can be notoriously difficult identify based on morphology alone. Moreover, several species are suspected contain brachypterous variants that previously have been described under separate names. We used gene sequences mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI, DNA barcodes) internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) investigate relationships between within genus. Our results show there is considerably more...
Twenty-nine species are treated, most of which have host caterpillar and food plant records, all but one new to science. The first record for the agathidine genus Amputoearinus is given. Gnathopleurajosequesadai Sharkey, sp. nov. reported as a hyperparasitoid fly larvae, such genus. following diagnosed primarily using COI barcode data; Sharkey authority all: Agathidinae: Aerophilusdavidwagneri, Aerophilusfundacionbandorum, Aerophilusnicklaphami, Lytopylusdavidstopaki,...

The present study was undertaken for allele mining of genes governing grain dimensions viz., length, width, thickness, size and weight. molecular markers linked to the reported these traits were used screen 124 diverse rice genotypes. Thirty-two in this produced a total 86 alleles among number ranged from 2 4 with an average 2.58 per locus. A dendrogram consisting genotypes revealed that all can be divided into two groups. An analysis model-based population structure using simple sequence...
