DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72145
Abstract: ABSTRACT Lettuce is an economically significant crop in Canada, with 70% of commercial production occurring in peatlands (Histosols) in southern Quebec. Insecticide application is currently the main method for managing lettuce pests, but there is… read more here.

Multiple species delimitation approaches with COI barcodes poorly fit each other and morphospecies – An integrative taxonomy case of Sri Lankan Sericini chafers (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8942
Abstract: Abstract DNA taxonomy including barcoding and metabarcoding is widely used to explore the diversity in biodiversity hotspots. In most of these hotspot areas, chafers are represented by a multitude of species, which are well defined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2020.108905
Abstract: Abstract A buffer zone can be defined as the surroundings of a protected area, restricting human activities, such as irregular urban growth, hunting, logging, and unsustainable agriculture. The general objective of this research was to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcae144
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Species delimitation can be challenging when analysing recently diverged species, especially those taxonomically synonymised due to morphological similarities. We aimed to untangle the relationships between two grassland species, Petunia guarapuavensis and Petunia… read more here.

Transect-based trapping for area-wide delimitation of insects.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Journal of economic entomology"
DOI: 10.1093/jee/toad059
Abstract: Typical delimitation trapping survey designs for area-wide (nonlocalized) insect populations are regularly spaced grids, and alternative shapes have not been evaluated. We hypothesized that transect-based designs could give similar detection rates with significantly shorter servicing… read more here.

Incongruence in molecular species delimitation schemes: What to do when adding more data is difficult
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Molecular Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/mec.14590
Abstract: Using multiple, independent approaches to molecular species delimitation is advocated to accommodate limitations and assumptions of a single approach. Incongruence in delimitation schemes is a potential by‐product of employing multiple methods on the same data,… read more here.

DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.516.3.3
Abstract: Symphytum is regarded one of the most complicated genera in terms of the classification of its members among the Boraginaceae. In addition to different infrageneric classification methods, several species complex or aggregates have been proposed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12862-017-0972-5
Abstract: BackgroundTaxonomy offers precise species identification and delimitation and thus provides basic information for biological research, e.g. through assessment of species richness. The importance of molecular taxonomy, i.e., the identification and delimitation of taxa based on… read more here.
