Incomplete knowledge of biodiversity remains a stumbling block for conservation planning
and even occurs within globally important Biodiversity Hotspots (BH). Although technical …

Abstract Background The megadiverse Neotropical freshwater ichthyofauna is the richest in
the world with approximately 6,000 recognized species. Interestingly, they are distributed …

The fish fauna of the P ampa P lain, the southernmost distribution range of many N
eotropical species, was barcoded in this study. COI sequences were analysed by means of …

Background and aims. The application of DNA barcoding as a global standard for fish
identification is probing diverse worldwide realms (Nearctic, Australian and the Neotropics) …

DNA barcoding has been used extensively to solve taxonomic questions and identify new
species. Neotropical fishes are found in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with a large …

Molecular studies have improved our knowledge on the neotropical ichthyofauna. DNA
barcoding has successfully been used in fish species identification and in detecting cryptic …

DNA barcoding is a new master key for species identification and has greatly accelerated
the pace of species discovery. In this novel and cost-effective technique, a short DNA …

This study represents the first comprehensive molecular assessment of freshwater fishes
and lampreys from G ermany. We analysed COI sequences for almost 80% of the species …

The catfish genus Trichomycterus is a recognized taxonomic bottleneck in Neotropical
ichthyology. The hitherto poorly-known diversity of Trichomycterus in the Rio Doce Basin …

Valid fish species identification is essential for biodiversity conservation and fisheries
management. Here, we provide a sequence reference library based on mitochondrial …
