Phylogenomics and loci dropout patterns of deeply diverged Zodarion ant-eating spiders suggest a high potential of RAD-seq for genus-level spider phylogenetics

David Ortiz et al.

Summary: Using ddRAD data, this study investigated the phylogeny of the highly diversified spider genus Zodarion, finding that relaxed loci-filtering and nested taxon-filtering strategies maximized molecular information and improved phylogenetic inference. The results suggest that ddRAD data have high potential for inferring relationships within the genus Zodarion and possibly in other taxonomic groups.

Fresh insights into Mediterranean biodiversity: environmental DNA reveals spatio-temporal patterns of stream invertebrate communities on Sicily

Kamil Hupalo et al.

Summary: The eDNA metabarcoding study conducted in a stream catchment on Sicily revealed 98 macroinvertebrate species, including 28 potentially new taxa. Seasonal differences were observed, with fewer taxa detected in winter. The study also identified a dispersal barrier that had a stronger effect in autumn.

Rudolf Meier et al.

Summary: Halting biodiversity decline is crucial but hindered by taxonomic impediments, including undescribed and superficially described species. A recent study attempted to address the issue by using COI barcode clusters for braconid wasps in Costa Rica, but the accuracy of the descriptions is questionable.

Towards Large-Scale Integrative Taxonomy (LIT): Resolving the Data Conundrum for Dark Taxa

Emily Hartop et al.

Summary: New method called large-scale integrative taxonomy (LIT) is proposed for tackling dark taxa, which are groups with a low percentage of described species and a high estimated diversity. LIT generates preliminary species hypotheses based on inexpensive data, which are then evaluated using more expensive validation data. In this study, LIT was used to sort scuttle flies into preliminary species hypotheses based on DNA barcodes, which were then validated using morphological data. Quantitative indicators for predicting incongruence between barcodes and morphology were developed. The results showed that LIT can effectively and efficiently delimit species.

Individual small in-stream barriers contribute little to strong local population genetic structure five strictly aquatic macroinvertebrate taxa

Martina Weiss et al.

Summary: The study revealed that despite the presence of numerous small in-stream barriers, most species can overcome these obstacles to prevent population fragmentation. However, populations of all species remain highly isolated within a few kilometers, indicating the existence of contemporary dispersal barriers.

A DNA barcode reference library for endemic Ponto-Caspian amphipods

Denis Copilas-Ciocianu et al.

Summary: The Ponto-Caspian region is a hotspot for endemic species, with the most diverse group being amphipods. This study used DNA barcoding to classify nearly 60% of known Ponto-Caspian amphipod species and compared the results with morphology-based taxonomy. The findings indicate that DNA barcoding is valuable for clarifying the diversity of Ponto-Caspian amphipods, but further work is needed to resolve taxonomic uncertainties.

Phylogeography of Mytilisepta virgata (Mytilidae: Bivalvia) in the northwestern Pacific: Cryptic mitochondrial lineages and mito-nuclear discordance

Yucheol Lee et al.

Summary: This study characterized the population genetic structure of the purplish bifurcate mussel in the northwestern Pacific, identifying two mitochondrial lineages (southern and northern) that may have diverged due to historical sea level fluctuations and adaptation to different temperature zones. Discordance between mitochondrial and nuclear markers suggests potential cryptic speciation and the need for further genomic analyses to explore this divergence.

Fuzzy species borders of glacial survivalists in the Carpathian biodiversity hotspot revealed using a multimarker approach

Tomasz Mamos et al.

Summary: The Carpathians are a key biodiversity hotspot in Europe, with hidden new species discovered through diversity and phylogenetic studies during the Pleistocene era. The research shows the significant impact of Pleistocene glaciations on speciation, supported by evidence of multiple micro refugia and increased diversification rates.

How mitonuclear discordance and geographic variation have confounded species boundaries in a widely studied snake

Thomas L. Marshall et al.

Summary: This study utilized an approach that emphasized geographic sampling and genetic data analysis to differentiate intraspecific genetic clusters from species, uncovering evidence of mitonuclear discordance and geographically and genetically structured populations. The findings highlight the importance of thorough sampling and consideration of gene flow when delimiting species within widespread complexes containing parapatric lineages.

Cave amphipods reveal co-variation between morphology and trophic niche in a low-productivity environment

Ester Premate et al.

Summary: It was found in the study that in environments with limited groundwater resources, there is a strong correlation between the morphological characteristics and trophic habits of Niphargus amphipods. Species with larger and more powerful gnathopods tend to have higher trophic positions, indicating a close relationship between morphology and trophic habits.

Morphology mirrors trophic niche in a freshwater amphipod community

Denis Copilas-Ciocianu et al.

Summary: The study found significant trophic and morphological differentiation among sympatric species of amphipods, with carnivorous species displaying predatory traits and herbivorous species having larger mouthparts and stomach. This indicates that even small riverine amphipod communities may exhibit significant functional disparity.
