Mosquito barcoding presented at the Third International Barcoding Conference in Mexico
On the opening day of the Third international Barcoding Conference, Mexico, Dr Yvonne Linton, on behalf of the MBI consortium presented barcode data for 1900 specimens, corresponding to some 174 recognised mosquito species. Significantly, some 46 cryptic taxa were additionally recovered using DNA barcodes, indicating that mosquito biodiversity may currently be under-represented by some 26%. Introgression, as evidenced by additional ITS2 sequencing was noted in four species pairs. Total data… Continue

Matthew Fisher said… - Hello and welcome Yvonne!
Great to see that you have taken to the online community and made it your own!
As host, I am contacting you to suggest a few things that you can do to take advantage of our online community (although you are already doing most of them!)
Simple Things You Can Do
After completing your online profile you should add yourself to the member map – this adds a geographic location to each community member.
A great next step is to invite your colleagues and search our members for people you know and invite them to be your colleague on the network.
Another thing to do is to browse our Forum and ask a question or leave a comment.
Please join a Group or start your own, as groups are a great way to express your special interest, be it a taxonomic group, a regional or organizational affiliation.
Have a question? Ask one of our hosts or post it to our FAQ page.
Some Advanced Things You Can Do
If you have something to say, start a Blog. Simply choose “Add a Blog Post” under Blogs. Blogging has never been easier.
If you already have a blog or another online resource, you can share it either on your profile page or through our rss pages. Just ask me how.
Manage a Group! Create a group and invite colleagues to join the network and your group. Use the “Send Message to Group” feature to email everyone in your group, start discussion threads specific to your group’s interests, add widgets and more.
For assistance with any of the things please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Again, thank you for joining our growing online community for barcoders. I look forward to connecting with you soon.

Virginia León-Règagnon said… - Great meeting you too, I hope we have the chance to collaborate in MBI. Were you able to establish some contact with someone working the mosquitos in Mexico?

- For sure!
Have you invited Des yet?

- Good going!
The paper needs work but I think my part is about finished, i.e. I probably don't need to see it again.
Be careful of Montezuma's revenge.
