Multiple variants of the mitochondrial COI DNA barcode region are prevalent in North European sawflies

Marko Prous, Santtu Urpilainen, Paul D. N. Hebert…·Marko Mutanen

The paper identifies multiple functional COI barcode variants in North European sawflies using high-throughput sequencing, challenging the one-barcode-per-specimen assumption in DNA barcoding.

Megabarcoding dark taxa - Assessing the utility of mass DNA barcoding for phorid fly species discovery

Jiri Vihavainen, Niina Kiljunen, Pekka Pohjola…·Jaakko Pohjoismäki

The paper assesses DNA barcoding's utility for identifying phorid flies, finding it effective but limited by reference sequence accuracy and highlighting Megaselia as a dark taxon.
