The paper presents an open-source workflow to recover and organize barcoded vouchers for ecological and evolutionary research, enabling efficient linking of specimens to molecular data and metadata.

The paper evaluates gDNA quality after HotSHOT extraction in insect vouchers under different storage conditions and finds that HotSHOT preserves sufficient gDNA for genomic sequencing, though field storage impacts DNA integrity.

IntegraTax is a tool that integrates DNA data with other evidence to determine species boundaries through clustering, visualization, and annotation.

The paper uses megabarcoding to show that two Diptera taxa have distinct spatio-temporal distributions along an elevational gradient in a temperate forest.

This paper introduces ONTbarcoder 2.0, a software tool that enables rapid species discovery and identification using Oxford Nanopore R10.4 sequencing technology by providing real-time barcoding capabilities.
