Comprehensive DNA barcode coverage of North American birds
DNA barcoding seeks to assemble a standardized reference library for DNA-based identification of eukaryotic species. The utility and limitations of this approach need to be tested on well-characterized taxonomic assemblages. Here we provide a comprehensive DNA barcode analysis for North American birds including 643 species representing 93% of the breeding and pelagic avifauna of the USA and Can...
متن کاملDNA Barcode Examination of North American Mayflies Across Their Natural Distribution Reveals Cryptic Species Complexes
The application of DNA barcoding to distinguish between two or more closely related taxa has been used more frequently in recent years. The typical approach has been to isolate, amplify and sequence cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI), a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encoded subunit of respiratory Complex IV. COI has proven useful as a marker for identification purposes because the frequency of mu...
متن کاملNorth American Birds and West Nile Virus
Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate, yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted— On this home by horror haunted—tell me—tell me I implore! " Is there—is there balm in Gilead?—tell me—tell me I implore! " Edgar Allan Poe " The Raven " " N ot far from the house sat a great wooden raven mounted on a rather low pole; his wings were flattened to his sides...
متن کاملA DNA Barcode Library for North American Ephemeroptera: Progress and Prospects
DNA barcoding of aquatic macroinvertebrates holds much promise as a tool for taxonomic research and for providing the reliable identifications needed for water quality assessment programs. A prerequisite for identification using barcodes is a reliable reference library. We gathered 4165 sequences from the barcode region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene representing 264 n...
متن کاملA DNA Barcode Library for North American Pyraustinae (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea: Crambidae)
Although members of the crambid subfamily Pyraustinae are frequently important crop pests, their identification is often difficult because many species lack conspicuous diagnostic morphological characters. DNA barcoding employs sequence diversity in a short standardized gene region to facilitate specimen identifications and species discovery. This study provides a DNA barcode reference library ...
