DNA barcoding and metabarcoding provide new avenues for investigating biological
systems. These techniques require wellcurated reference libraries with extensive coverage …

DNA barcoding has been used as a universal tool for phylogenetic inferences and diversity
assessments, especially in poorly studied species and regions. The aim of this study was to …

The current knowledge on insects feeding on fruits is limited, and some of the scarce
existing data on the fruitassociated insects are secluded within the host institutions …

Diversity studies via floristic surveys and taxonomic metrics have proven essential for
discerning community composition and biodiversity; however, phylogenetic analyses are …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi form a mutualistic symbiosis with plant roots, and are key for nutrient
cycling in many ecosystems. Here we study the ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in the …

Soft polytomies emerge due to the application of handmade supertrees in phylogenetic
