Illuminating entomological dark matter with DNA barcodes in an era of insect decline, deep learning, and genomics
R Meier, MKN Lawniczak… - Annual Review of …, 2024 - annualreviews.org
Most insects encountered in the field are initially entomological dark matter in that they
cannot be identified to species while alive. This explains the enduring quest for efficient …

ONTbarcoder and MinION barcodes aid biodiversity discovery and identification by everyone, for everyone
Background DNA barcodes are a useful tool for discovering, understanding, and monitoring
biodiversity which are critical tasks at a time of rapid biodiversity loss. However, widespread …

Convergence of dominance and neglect in flying insect diversity
Most of arthropod biodiversity is unknown to science. Consequently, it has been unclear
whether insect communities around the world are dominated by the same or different taxa …

ONTbarcoder 2.0: rapid species discovery and identification with real‐time barcoding facilitated by Oxford Nanopore R10. 4
Most arthropod species are undescribed and hidden in specimen‐rich samples that are
difficult to sort to species using morphological characters. For such samples, sorting to …

Network analysis with either Illumina or MinION reveals that detecting vertebrate species requires metabarcoding of iDNA from a diverse fly community
DNA obtained from invertebrates (iDNA) can be metabarcoded in order to survey vertebrate
communities. However, little attention has been paid to the interaction between the …

Hitchhiking into the future on a fly: Toward a better understanding of phoresy and avian louse evolution (Phthiraptera) by screening bird carcasses for phoretic lice on …
Many phoretic relationships between arthropods are understudied because of taxonomic
impediments. We here illustrate for avian lice riding on hippoboscid flies how new natural …
