This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of wild silkmoths using phylogenomic data, revealing a Neotropical origin and two Old World colonization events, along with taxonomic rearrangements.

This study uses DNA metabarcoding to compare arthropod biodiversity across three Canadian ecoregions, finding greater similarity within ecoregions and a decline in diversity from east to west.

The paper develops a DNA barcode reference library for pest aphids in Pakistan and examines BIN concordance with global data, finding broad transcontinental distributions.

The paper provides DNA barcodes for 1.5 million Canadian invertebrate specimens to improve taxonomic identification and biodiversity research.

This paper describes protocols combining Malaise traps and DNA barcoding to rapidly assess arthropod diversity, demonstrating their use in a national park survey of 20,000 specimens representing 2200 species.
