چکیده

An analysis of public DNA barcoding data confirms that the extraction of Arboricaria Bosmans, 2000 from the genus Micaria Westring, 1851 would require the division of Micaria into at least five (and probably more) individual genera, to restore the monophyly of Micaria sensu stricto. Such an excessive splitting of a homogenous and well-defined genus would be neither desirable nor practical, and consequently Arboricaria should be considered a subjective junior synonym of Micaria, as suggested earlier (syn. conf.).

Identification of Qanat fishes in Taft and Mehriz (Yazd-Iran) via DNA barcoding

In this study fish in 8 Qanats in Taft and Mehriz townships of the Yazd Province were compared to specimens from Sirvan, Karun, Mond, Kor Rivers, Kerman and Namak basins. In the studied Qanats, Capoeta saadi and Cyprinion sp. were observed. The haplotypic diversity in Qanats was zero. Capoeta saadi haplotype observed in Qanats was similar to haplotype observed in the Kor basin. Cyprinion sp. ha...
