Mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I DNA sequences are a good discriminative marker for phylogenetic studies in crustaceans and especially in amphipoda. In the present study, molecular and morphological data were analyzed to test whether Gammarus lobifer authority and Gammarus balutchi authority which one or two geographically separated but morphologically similar species. The analyses pr...

The discrimination and taxonomic identification of marine species continues to pose a challenge despite the growing number of diagnostic metrics and approaches. This study examined the genetic relationship between two sibling species of the genus Calanus (Crustacea; Copepoda; Calanidae), C. agulhensis and C. sinicus, using a multi-gene analysis. DNA sequences were determined for portions of the...

Members of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci species complex cause millions of dollars of damage globally and are considered one of the world's most invasive species. They are capable of causing extensive damage to major vegetable, grain legume and fiber crops. All member of the species complex are morphologically identical therefore, data from the partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (...

Comparative assessment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) gene sequence uncovers Bemisia tabaci mitotypes. The current study aims to define B. mitotypes found in various agro ecological zones across India. Phylogenetic analysis 13 samples from agroclimatic regions revealed presence four mitotypes: Asia 1, II 5 and 7. Among, 1 was be abundant widespread distribution thirteen locat...

Whiteflies are economically important plant pests that cause damage to crops worldwide. This study aimed update the status of whiteflies in Jordan by combining classical morphological identification and DNA markers using mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) gene. Over course three consecutive years, 111 were collected from different geographical regions hosts Jordan. The results showed th...

Summary Hirschmanniella diversa and H. imamuri parasitise the lotus, Nelumbo nucifera. spp. are most important pests of lotus cultivation in Japan, but distribution species dominancy not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to collect individuals from roots major areas Japan identify them morphologically molecularly using 18S, D2-D3 regions rRNA mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I...

This study reports on the molecular identification of fish species from processed products which had a priori been classified as belonging to 5 important species in Iran for human consumption. DNA barcoding using direct sequencing of an approximately 650bp of mitochondrial Cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene revealed incorrect labeling of Narrow-barred Spanish mackerel samples. High occurre...

Six new species of Zaischnopsis Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae) from China are described, covid Jiang & Peng sp. nov., fuscolivida Tang lii pacis campaniformis and zhongi nov. All the described illustrated based on females, partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences provided for six as well previously Z. fumosa Xiang. Females all recorded differentiated in a key.
