Date: 9-June 2011Pub: Mycologia  [Epub ahead of print]Author(s): Feau N, Vialle A, Allaire M, Maier W, Hamelin RC.Abstract:Chrysomyxa rusts are fungal pathogens widely present in the boreal forest. Taxonomic delimitation and precise species identification are difficult within this genus since several species…See More

Date: 28-February 2011Pub: ESAKIA, (50): 81-88Author(s): Satoshi KAMITANIPDF Attached.Abstract:Only five DNA barcodes of Japanese leafhoppers have been recorded, although the DNA barcoding method using of a part of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is said to be one of new tools for taxonomic identification. In this study, 63 barcodes under 45 species (15 subfamilies and 37 genera) are newly added to the database of DNA barcodes. Barcodes of Japanese leafhoppers had…See More

Date: 26-May 2011Pub: PLoS ONE, 2011, 6(5)Author(s): Hollingsworth PM, Graham SW, Little DPPDF Attached.Abstract: The main aim of DNA barcoding is to establish a shared community resource of DNA sequences that can be used for…See More

Date: 29 April 2011 (online)Pub: Molecular Ecology Resources (2011)Author(s): JAN HRCEK, SCOTT E. MILLER, DONALD L. J. QUICKE and M. ALEX SMITH PDF Attached. Abstract:Previously, host–parasitoid links have been unveiled almost exclusively by time-intensive rearing, while molecular methods were used only in simple agricultural host–parasitoid systems in the form of species-specific primers. Here, we present a general method for the molecular detection of these links applied to a complex…See More

Date: April 13, 2011Pub: PLoS ONE 6(4): e17497. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0017497Author(s): Hajibabaei M, Shokralla S, Zhou X, Singer GAC, Baird DJ PDF Attached. Abstract:Timely and accurate biodiversity analysis poses an ongoing challenge for the success of biomonitoring programs. Morphology-based identification of bioindicator taxa is time consuming, and rarely supports species-level resolution especially for immature life stages. Much work has been done in the past decade to develop…See More

Date: March 2011Pub: Entomological Science, 2011 (Online Early)Author(s): Utsugi JINBO, Toshihide KATO, Motomi ITO PDF Attached. Abstract:DNA barcoding is a technique for identifying organisms based on a short, standardized fragment of genomic DNA. The standardized sequence region is called a DNA barcode because it is like a barcode tag for each taxon. Since the proposition of this concept and the launch of a large project named the Barcode of Life, this simple technique has attracted attention…See More

Date: 27 May 2010Pub: Entomologica Fennica, 2011, 21:1-11Author(s): Juha Salokannnel, Markus J. Rantala & Niklas WahlbergPDF Attached.Abstract:All the known 8 Finnish Apatania Kolenati species were analysed using the DNA barcoding method. The Finnish species were grouped in four clades; A. zonella (Zetterstedt, 1840) group sensu lato, A. stigmatella (Zetterstedt, 1840), A. wallengreni (McLachlan, 1871) and A. muliebris McLachlan, 1866. The A. zonella group sensu lato consists of A. zonella,…See More
