Identifying spiders through DNA barcodes
With almost 40 000 species, the spiders provide important model systems for studies of sociality, mating systems, and sexual dimorphism. However, work on this group is regularly constrained by difficulties in species identification. DNA-based identification systems represent a promising approach to resolve this taxonomic impediment, but their efficacy has only been tested in a few groups. In th...
متن کاملSymbiodinium Photosynthesis in Caribbean Octocorals
Symbioses with the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium form the foundation of tropical coral reef communities. Symbiodinium photosynthesis fuels the growth of an array of marine invertebrates, including cnidarians such as scleractinian corals and octocorals (e.g., gorgonian and soft corals). Studies examining the symbioses between Caribbean gorgonian corals and Symbiodinium are sparse, even though gorg...
متن کاملIdentifying Fishes through DNA Barcodes and Microarrays
BACKGROUND International fish trade reached an import value of 62.8 billion Euro in 2006, of which 44.6% are covered by the European Union. Species identification is a key problem throughout the life cycle of fishes: from eggs and larvae to adults in fisheries research and control, as well as processed fish products in consumer protection. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS This study aims to eva...
متن کاملidentifying thrips (insecta: thysanoptera) using dna barcodes
thrips tabaci lindeman is an extensively distributed pest insect in many areas that affects plants through direct feeding and at the same time, it makes damage as a vector of different viruses. as a basic first step to control pests is authentic identification, but the inability to determine morphological characters of thrips species makes this process very difficult. for creating an identifica...
متن کاملIdentifying Canadian mosquito species through DNA barcodes.
A short fragment of mt DNA from the cytochrome c oxidase 1 (CO1) region was used to provide the first CO1 barcodes for 37 species of Canadian mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) from the provinces Ontario and New Brunswick. Sequence variation was analysed in a 617-bp fragment from the 5' end of the CO1 region. Sequences of each mosquito species formed barcode clusters with tight cohesion that were ...
