Putting European lampreys into perspective: A global‐scale multilocus phylogeny...
Pereira, Ana; Levy, André; Vukić, Jasna; Šanda, Radek; Levin, Boris; Freyhof, Jörg; Geiger, Matthias; Choleva, Lukáš; Francisco, Sara M.; Robalo, JoanaPrevious studies on the phylogenetic relationships between lamprey species relied either on a low number of morphological characters related to the feeding apparatus, or on a low number of molecular mitochondrial DNA markers. Here, we apply a multilocus approach to assess the phylogenetic relationships of northern hemisphere lampreys, with a special emphasis on the 17 European species. The study comprises two m...
DNA barcode reference libraries for the monitoring of aquatic biota in Europe: ...
Weigand, Hannah; Beermann, Arne J; Čiampor, Fedor; Costa, Filipe O.; Csabai, Zoltán; Duarte, Sofia Alexandra Ferreira; Geiger, Matthias FEffective identification of species using short DNA fragments (DNA barcoding and DNA metabarcoding) requires reliable sequence reference libraries of known taxa. Both taxonomically comprehensive coverage and content quality are important for sufficient accuracy. For aquatic ecosystems in Europe, reliable barcode reference libraries are particularly important if molecular identification tools are to be implement...
Spatial heterogeneity in the Mediterranean Biodiversity Hotspot affects barcodi...
Geiger, Matthias F.; Herder, Fabian; Monaghan, Michael T.; Almada, Vítor Carvalho; Barbieri, Roberta; Bariche, Michel; Berrebi, Patrick; Bohlen, JörgIncomplete knowledge of biodiversity remains a stumbling block for conservation planning and even occurs within globally important Biodiversity Hotspots (BH). Although technical advances have boosted the power of molecular biodiversity assessments, the link between DNA sequences and species and the analytics to discriminate entities remain crucial. Here, we present an analysis of the first DNA barcode library f...
