In the last decade, new methods of estimating global species richness have been developed
and existing ones improved through the use of more appropriate statistical tools and new …

Monitoring of biota is pivotal for the assessment and conservation of ecosystems.
Environments worldwide are being continuously and increasingly exposed to multiple …

Recent estimates suggest that the global insect fauna includes fewer than six million
species, but this projection is very uncertain because taxonomic work has been limited on …

Applications of biological knowledge, such as forensics, often require the determination of
biological materials to a species level. As such, DNA-based approaches to identification …

Biological surveys based on visual identification of the biota are challenging, expensive and
time consuming, yet crucial for effective biomonitoring. DNA metabarcoding is a rapidly …

During the last years DNA barcoding has become a popular method of choice for molecular
specimen identification. Here we present a comprehensive DNA barcode library of various …

Study of all flies (Diptera) collected for one year from a four-hectare (150 x 266 meter) patch
of cloud forest at 1,600 meters above sea level at Zurquí de Moravia, San José Province …

This study summarizes results of a DNA barcoding campaign on German Diptera, involving
analysis of 45,040 specimens. The resultant DNA barcode library includes records for 2,453 …

Simple Summary Roughly two-thirds of the insect species described from Germany belong
to the orders Diptera (flies) or Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants and sawflies). However, both …

Freshwater macro‐organismic environmental DNA (eDNA) is gaining increasing popularity
in detecting invasive species, assessing community assemblages, and in mapping the …
