Thrips are one of the major sucking pest and vector plant viruses causing huge economic loss in agriculture. The accurate identification thrips is crucial for effective management strategies. However, morphology based has limitations warrants integration molecular data. We attempted largest DNA barcoding initiative on 370 sequences 89 morphospecies including 104 novel from 39 morphospecies, type specimens four species. results multiple species delimitation methods (BIN, ABGD, GMYC bPTP) were...
The study attempted identification of Gobiid fishes from freshwaters in the east and northeast India on a collection 20 specimens. DNA barcode data delineated collected samples into three species clades neighbor-joining tree. results confirmed five sample sequences belonging to subfamily Gobionellinae due cohesive cladding with Awaous congeners. This is new record for northeastern region. Another 15 showed conspecific Glossogobius giuris database. Among sequences, 14 cladded G. Indian...
present paper is aimed at describing two new species: Epocilla sirohi sp.n.(#) and Mogrus rajasthanensis sp.n.($).
Two new species of jumping spiders, Colyttus proszynskii sp. nov. (♂) and Synagelides brahmaputra (♀), are described from India. The genus Thorell 1891 is recorded for the first time in
Seafood consumption is highly demanding due to the important source of protein it contains, as well being rich in omega-3 fatty acids. However, adulteration seafood an alarming issue worldwide, including India. This study deals with edible crabs from shops on Odisha state coast eastern The generated DNA barcode sequences successfully identified most studied brachyuran crab species by similarity search results global databases. were also delimited significant genetic divergence and...
Psechrus inflatus Bayer, 2012 previously known from China, is recorded for the first time in India. Partial sequence data of mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase (mtCOI) was generated and submitted BOLD.
