DNA Barcoding-Based Evaluation of Genetic Diversity in Acanthodactylus (Daudin, 1802) (Lacertidae: Squamata) Species of Türkiye

Sep 2026 · Biology Bulletin · Vol 53 · 0 citations · 43 references

TL;DR

DNA barcoding of the mitochondrial COI gene is applied to assess genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of four species distributed in Türkiye to confirm the validity of all four species and provide the first COI barcode reference library for Turkish Acanthodactylus.

Investigation of the genetic diversity of pearl spot, Etroplus suratensis (Bloch, 1790), through DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analysis from two habitats

Etroplus suratensis (pearl spot) is a commercially important cichlid native to South and Southeast Asia, yet its genetic variation in habitats of Karnataka has not been previously studied. This study integrates morphological and molecular approaches to examine specimens from freshwater (n=65) and brackish water (n=60)...

Application of COI DNA barcode to identify phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) from Maranhão in leishmaniasis-endemic areas, Northeast Brazil.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of DNA barcoding, based on the mitochondrial COI gene, in delimiting species of the subfamily Phlebotominae from Maranhão, in addition to generating new molecular information and detecting possible cryptic species. Fragments of the COI gene were sequenced and integrated into publi...

DNA barcoding and phylogeny of Trichomycterus sp. (“life”) (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae) from the Jequetepeque River, Peru

The objective of this study was to molecularly identify Trychomycterus sp. (“life”) from the Jequetepeque River using DNA barcoding and to reconstruct its phylogenetic relationships. For this purpose, six specimens of “life” were collected near the town of Magdalena (-7.2509344, -78.6752351) using a cast net, with samp...

Molecular assessment of confiscated Sceloporus lizards (Squamata: Phrynosomatidae) reveals unresolved taxonomic affinities and genetic reference gaps in Honduras

Molecular tools play a crucial role in biodiversity research and wildlife forensics, yet Central America remains underrepresented in genetic reference databases, particularly for reptiles. In Honduras, species of the genus Sceloporus are poorly studied despite their ecological relevance and increasing demand in the...

Coi DNA barcoding and phylogenetic relationships of wasps (hymenoptera: vespidae) from the Sundarbans, Bangladesh

We studied the molecular identification and phylogenetic relationships of 7 Wasp species (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) found in the mangrove ecosystem of the Sundarbans region of Bangladesh, using mitochondrial COI as a marker. Wasp specimens were collected from various locations throughout the Sundarbans and all 7 were succ...
